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

Re: Boy are these things built
The original owner weighed 450 pounds. They probably didn’t tell you that when they sold you the boat. LOL

Re: Boy are these things built
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

Re: Boy are these things built
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...Pascal
