Looking for some help with the turtle deck strakes. I'm sure they are aluminum. If anyone could provide the dimensions along with the thickness and type of aluminum needed I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bob

Can anyone provide a (educated) guess on what guage aluminun is used on the turtle deck strakes?

thanks
Bob

Can't remember for sure, but 0.016" to 0.020" (or even 0.025") would probably be fine. 6061-T6 or 2024-T3.

Mine - Model IV - .025" including both sides primer plus both sides two coats finish paint.

Mine have been primed but show .021. So I'd go with John @ .020 and either alloy.
