Tsubaki's right about using 3/4"...I'm no lightweight and have had some healthy lads aboard w/no probs...keep in mind Starboard in this size WILL expand, so leave some "wiggle room"...I chose light grey and it gets hot on bare feet in summer's direct sun...white will not. They make it now w/diamond texture and I think I would use it now in this application
The aft lid is split w/the onboard charger attached under the front half, folds up for charging...on the bottom of the hatch in back are two group 31 batteries for the electric trolling motor...the two lid pieces are connected w/a SS continuous hinge. 3/4" finger holes in each end of each lid make lifting hardware unneccessary and work like a champ.
