[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 436547, member: 13599"] that size deck lid will need minimal bracing with 1/2" B/C ext. plywood. as for the bracing: I would personally suggest a minimum of 1-1/4" x 1/8 or 3/16" square tube or angle 48" is quite a span and must have vertical supports from the lid to the hull. price is what drives most of us "Common Folk" to use plywood vs aluminum sheet. (plus - the tools and equipment to work with it). [i][b]photos[/b][/i] of your concerns will generate more accurate responses from the gallery. . [/QUOTE]
