Just purchased this fine vessel ,(microplas) I'm planning on doing her up. In time for summer ,should I use Perspex or would I be better off with polycarbonate ? Can anyone recommend a supplier of plastic sheeting in Dublin with reasonable prices?,or if anyone has a piece lying around ill be glad to buy it off ye ,but as this boat refit will be done on a shoestring budget free or really cheap would be great

poly carbonate is actually the best option but the most pricy!
I used perspex on a previous boat a few years ago and it was fine, although I realised I would need to replace it in about 5-10 years. because of that I used plastic bolts to secure it.

I would think polycarbonate would be better than perspex. There is at least one crowd in Cork that have it (Blarney Trading).

Poly it is then,would 3 or 4 mm be strong enough ? Cheers for replies

Warrior use 4mm. I would say that 3mm would be plenty strong on small windows. Whichever you can get the handiest I'd say.

That's grand at least the cheapest poly is strong enough,ill shop around so and see what I find thanks again for replies

How ya eoghan,
