First part of my deck is installed

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are paying $160 to $170 for a 4x8 piece of Nidacore? Double OUCH. A fiberglass supply shop here in Sarasota sold me a 1/2 inch x 4'x8' piece of nidacore for $65.00. I used it to form the top of my transom cap and for the deck where the splashwell used to be in my 23cc. I will tell you, one layer of matt on the top and bottom and that stuff doesn't flex! I wish I could help you out. Thanks again for your awesome sight.

$160 for 3/4 inch with 2 layers of 18ox woven roven laminated to the sides and wet sanded, Even from Nida-Core down in FL $160 was a good price.

John G- Thanks, it is quite light, I can manage a 4x8 section easily by myself at least 1/3 the weight of Marine Plywood?

Otto- yup, no leaning post, need the room in the aft for fishing. I have a friend who runs a Contender 21 for charters and he ordered the boat without a leaning post, I thought it was nuts untill i fished with him, man lots of room and how often can you sit in a 20 ft boat while running along at 30kts?

Trayder I hear you about hear about leaning post. My boat came with ONE small Todd seat mounted really high and I thought man thats got to go. After a used it a couple of times I would not change a thing. There is tons of room with out the other seat and the one that there is tiny and works as something to lean against. My friends Robalo has the big bucket seats and I never realized how much room thay take up. You have very limited room between the seats and the splash well.
