Triton cabintop thickness

Post by Figment »

What's the thickness of the core in the triton cabintop? Particularly under the mast step.

This weekend's mission is to lay a solid epoxy and fiber base under the mast step (non-compressive connection between mast step and support beam below), and my plan is to use a router to cut the boundary of this area to a 45 or 30 degree taper. first I gotta buy a router bit of sufficient depth.

Should be 3/8", like the sidedecks.
