My packaging didn't hold up? Big box with 1/2 pound of plastic in it and UPS can't get that delivered without buggering it up, nice.....
Which piece was crinkled and is it OK? Will have to look at new packaging box.
I agree with you on the strength. In the build thread I believe it is mentioned about wanting it stronger. Most plastic boats have a double bottom, the outer hull and a inner reinforcement to give strength and mount components. Well, I am not a production builder and everybody seems to want to do something different. I did get a .040 to turn out pretty nice last week, but the .060 is a bit harder to work with. The deck is also .040, maybe I will try to do a .060 deck and help that some.
Rough up the plastic and laminate in some carbon. I was thinking along the line of carbon tissue. It will form into the corners really well and add some stiffness.
Were you looking to do a single or twin?
