WUPS! a type. The trunk on Jerry's boat is 1.5 inches thick on the sides,
consisting of 1/2" of fiberglass on the inside, and two pieces of 1/2"
plywood around that, all wrapped in a 1/6" thin glass and gelcoat outer skin.
It's 3" think at the aft edge (1/2" of fiberglass and 2.5" of wood).
Sorry for the mis-information.
