Hi guy's
I am now wanting to build a new seat base/box for my boat, mine is an open boat so its going to be a big box type thing that goes
all across the boat about half way along. (see pics)
I will be using fibreglass once I have a plug made up, BUT here is what I am not sure about.
How thick will the box need to be ? do I need to make it 1/8th inch thick or 1/4 inch etc ?
the box will be around 50 inch wide by 14 inch deep by around 15 inches high.
the top will be hinged etc just like in the pics below
I am trying to work out how thick to bild it and what could it end up weighing.
if I just go ahead and do it my way I will need an extra 200hp as I allways build stuff far too heavy.
I have a fair bit of glass cloth lying around to get this done, and will make a good winter project.
I cannot afford carbon fibre or exotic stuff so its just going to be polyester resin and csm.
any idea's on the lay of this type of thing will be good,
.
