: That is how my Disko bay coaming was made. I did fiberglass it
: also. I have a 29"x16" and have had no problem.
: I also used the holes and sew it in place.

The fiberglass will help some with the flexing, we've had problems in the past though with keyhole coamings flexing too much without support in the middle. The keyhole though is a slightly longer coaming.
