Here,s mine made from plexi glass & no issues with strength due to alum flat bar on top sections as re-enforcement

This is the only way to go 2 piece sections I kept my old one so if I ever stored the boat outside in a parked lot
the bottom section can be left in place acts as a back rest & also allows for more safety protection in an following sea

Hi Paul I used 1/4" thick plexi glass if u ask for black u will not be able to get it as they actually call the black " Smoked Gray " just a heads up , I wanted to use lexan as it is stronger & more scratch resistant but I was going to have to order it & wait 10 days so said to myself I did the same mod on my & it was a one piece 3/16" plexi glass sheet & work fine as it was a smaller board , but I wanted a two piece for the & knew I should go with 1/4" thick material
the bottom section is re-enforced with two 3/16" or 1/4" alum flat bar that was attached approx 1/4" above the top edge of the bottom section that created a slot for the top section to slide into thus making it water proof joint , the top of the top section was also re-enforced with alum flat bar , u,ll notice I also added a opening port to the top section for ventilation if u link onto the link that ray posted u will get most of the info u need plus lots of pics , I used a plywood cutting blade reversed on the circular saw & bought a special blade for the jigsaw but all the info should be on that link
Hope that helps u out

I use the top edge of the bottom drop board to hold onto while exiting the boat. It had to be very strong so I wanted half inch lexan but that was cost prohibitive.

I notice photobucket is about over the top with ads on thier site, including one that forces me to go to a weppage for, in this case, a car.

I wonder if they know that those ads just annoy the frick out of people but don't encourage them to buy anything?
