There is a huge difference in stiffness and strength between 1/2 and 3/4 inches. Remember that the cabin floor needs to support weight between the spreaders...

Your Micron 66 wasn't available locally and look at your level of effort to get 'a one timer' versus your cabin sole for as long as you own and enjoy Persistence. Bite the bullet and order the 3/4" T&H and do it right. PS: I was at the boat yesterday....my first Spring project will be to go back this week with my axe and shovel to remove the 'glacier' where I place my step ladder to board. Don't think I am going 'splash' just yet. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
