Starboard floor hatch question??
I have been contemplating replacing the teak floor hatch covers with starboard. I noticed Reel & MJ have/had the starboard hatch covers and I do like how they look. However my question is, do you have to add some sort of support underneath the cover so it won't bend when being stepped on? I know I pack some pounds and was wondering if the material will hold up when my fat arse steps on it. So I was wondering if some cleats underneath would add support and if so how do you attach them?
Thanks for any help guys.
