Lund Boat twin plates?

[FishOn]

Need some help with this statement from a 1999 Lund boat catalogue .

 

States that a Lund Pro Sport .063 freeboard .08 hull .08 twin plate.

 

Does this mean from bow to maybe mid point of the boat has 2 x .08 thick plates of aluminum?

​For a total of 1.6 thickness for the bottom?

 

Thanks

It would be 0.16". But I think you have the correct interpretation.

Yep.. two .08's sandwiched and riveted together (like plywood) is stronger than a single layer of 0.16.

Correction .063 freeboard .08 hull .063 twin plate.

 

Awesome two plates of .063 each at the bow, I will take them .

 

Thanks Lund.

Or is it .08 with .063 on top of it. That's what I thought mine is?

[FishOn]

That sounds about right.
