    Yea you got to cook your rocks to raise your profit margin on your frags ;)
    Just kidding. I have been trying to avoid posting RC links here out of respect but is a real good one for anyone considering going bare bottom.

    ps still don't think bare bottom is worth much but if your going to do it you might as well do it right.

    You should be able to get it at places that sell Acrylic.
    Or try your local boat builder they use Starboard for hatch covers ect.

    It's a plastic that is sold in sheets like plywood we use it to mount controles and different type os reactors on the systems we design and install also for shelving bottoms for stands and we also make sumps from it.

    I have bought starboard in the past at many fishing stores, like West Marine, Bass pro Shops, Cabela's, Overton's to name a couple.

    This Thread is 8 Years Old...

    Welcome to 3reef!

    FYI, you'll most likely get better responses by starting your own thread in the DIY forum. Not many will read to the last post before replying to the original question, if at all. Also, I doubt Tangster is still watching this thread; it was 6 years ago (the last time this thread was revived) that he made that post, and 2 years ago since his last post ever on 3reef.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You can get it at boating stores like West Marine and regular old HomeDepot.

    Mr.Bill is spot on though with regard to starting your own DIY thread, buttt Matt who started the thread will probably see your post, so you my friend will most likely get lucky.
