Hi Will
Are you sure it was 2mm, that doesn't sound right.
Regards
Yeah Wills boat Jive was previously called Smik was built of 2mm ply and comes in under weight at around 50kg.His main deck was 3mm I believe.
My new 3mm deck is reinforced with 120 gram glass on the inside. The downside is it does tend to flex and I have small hairline cracks in my paint job. Possibly by using 4mm with a layer of glass or 3mm with 2 layers of glass it would be alot stiffer but stll a few kgs lighter.
I'd also like to point out removing the old deck is not easy and I had a few areas damaged due to this. All repairable and not structural but If you get unlucky it could create a can of worms.
