Best place to buy Starboard.

[BigBird007]

Where is the best place to buy Starboard in the Victoria area?

Probably going to need a sheet of 1/4 and one of 1/2 so looking for the best deal.

Appreciate the help!

Trotac has it now too.

Plexi-klass right in downtown Victoria is where I always get it. Trotac is near them 2, and is great store.

Redwood plastic on mainland also carries it.

Plexi klass has better pricing in Vic than Ind Plastics and usually quicker at getting it in

are all those places selling HDPE or starboard ? starboard is marine and UV stabilized treated HDPE.
normal HDPE will degrade in the sun.

Plexi klass sells all different types, and redwood is the industrial supplier for mainland. I used Redwood for all of our engineering projects when we bought it at high volume. Portoptyping we used Plexi Klass.

Pj white is a wholesaler in Vic who sells it to those other shops

Thanks for the input!

Plexi-Klass does indeed sell the proper King Starboard. Picked up a small piece for my dash today and got a price and eta on sheet. Very helpful staff!

If anyone is wondering a sheet 54”x 96” x 1/4” is $200 and in 1/2” it is $400. I am looking for a none stocked colour so I will need to buy a full sheet.

That’s weekend worrier price, I am sure if you are buying in volume or have a company it would be less.

Can you buy directly from PJ -White?

I know the parent company Richelieu you need a wholesale account.

I needed some starboard today,so I went to Trotac ,a 24x27 piece of 1/2" was 124.95.I thought that was high ,so I went to Plexiklass on John St.,it was $63 for a 24x28 piece.That's one hell of a markup at Trotac.I'll stick to buying tackle there from now on.

If I'm reading right, I think Plexi-Klass is an outfit that sells Starboard and other plastic products.

Have any of you used 1/2" or 3/4" seaboard for flooring? I want to get rid of the vinyl covered marine ply and this stuff looks like it would be durable and easy to clean.
