Foredeck Thickness?

[Jeff_McKinney]

Can anyone tell me the thickness of the foredeck about 6-8 inches aft of the anchor locker hatch? I want to install one of those Wichard folding padeyes with bolts and a good backing plate. Naturally, drilling a hole first to check the thickness is the last option I'd try. I looked in the owners manual and the tech notes but can't find anything on this.

Thanks

Jeff : I'm going to guess from memory at about 1 1/4".
