    Your profile indicates Florida, so I chose a product easily available in the US.

    Thickness depends on shape and size, plus type of process. The stronger, which sometimes means thicker, you make it the more abuse it may handle from rough treatment, especially the flanges.

    Florida, Europe, tomato, tomato.

    So, Jonathan, you live in Florida but you're from Europe?
    And where is the boat building going to take place?
