I haven't bolted mine on yet, but i took some measurements. The acrylic windscreen is 3/16" thick. The lower trim rail is 1/8" thick. I would venture a guess that the fiberglass thickness of the deck is roughly 3/16" thick. (I added some layers of 1.5oz CSM and 1708 glass to the under...

Contrary to what your neighbour tells you...or your buddy who builds offshore race boats...but slicing up 2x4s and using that as a core material because it's cheaper than balsa (and by extension, even more cheaper than composites) is NOT a good idea. h...
