I'm just not sure that it is structurally strong enough to span the opening without some kind of support.
I would say you could rip some 2" by width of the gas cover pieces of starboard and use them as joists under the cover??? maybe 3 or 4 from front to back??? that would give it less flex i think. you could just attach then right to the bottom of the cover
