Default silent thunder repairs

Does anyone know what thickness plywood they used in the back of the platform, there wasn't enough left of the one i took off to make any measurements. completely rotted out. never having seen an intact one i have no idea what was there. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
DD

Think about leaving it off, sounds like there is many advantages without it

ran it this past year without the platform, got lucky a few times with
warnings for noise decibles. wont be as lucky again now that they know the boat, a couple of extra ponies wont be worth the tickets.
I weighed my options and putting it back on is the best one at the moment.

thanks

I need to have a platform and cant afford the tickets that will certainly be forthcoming without it.

idk where you run but that is lame...i am highly doubtful that ill have a problem. there are guys with 700's and 800's supercharged that have no problems...
