    Boy are these things built

    Enclosed is a picture of the shower pan from our forward head that I just fought to remove. That is solid fiberglass, not filler and is about 1 inch thick. The entire pan had to weigh about 100 pounds. Total overkill, but incredible quality also. John84B97EB2-F5EB-4FFB-AED3-2E582BF32A41.jpg

    Maybe it WAS a structural shower pan.

    The original owner weighed 450 pounds. They probably didn’t tell you that when they sold you the boat. LOL

    It was installed over the plywood floor that is in the rest of the forward cabin, no need for any structural construction. I guess the intern that made those pans was afraid to make it too light in weight so he overkilled the other way. I think if you put that pan on 2 blocks an elephant could stand on it and it would not break. John

    Mines had almost two inches of heavy filler under the pans. Both thr master and the forward. They put up a fight but filler isn’t structural... there was no glass in there in came out in chunk.

    Not an example of good craftsmanship...
