Seaboard, Ocean Board, King Starboard (and now Boatboard) are all equivalents of an improved HDPE.
This a premium boat building material which has great UV characteristics and is also really easy to cut and drill.
Normal HDPE and similar are what your cheap cutting boards are made from.

It is expensive. If you are looking for precisely made to shape pieces, then yes try places like Dotmar or All Star Plastics.

Megabite, the offer made by Berger4 is a very good one. Go for it! :)

Hi Berger,
Check your PM's. I had been looking to buy some off cuts of Starboard or equivalent.

Cheers.
