1/2" You building an ark
As RC said you will either have to scarf or butt splice two pieces together....butt splice with wood or fiberglass

My boat without fiberglass other than the sides was going to be 3/8"....I fiberglassed both sides and went with 1/4"
It depends on the design, horse power rating and construction. The design/designer really dictates the bill of materials. There are a couple of hundred wood john boat plans out there, if you don't have a basic set of plans I would highly recommend getting a set

Just remember, the plans are only good if you read them
