it will vary, depending on who and when the lay-up was done, Stan has been making the deck thicker over the years, the only way to
know for sure is to check your own, also the coring has been all over the places, be ready to reinforce the holes with epoxy by
drilling, flood with exoxy and redrill. Rodger has writen about this a few time, might be able to post/repost it.
