Try the Yellow pages and ring around is often the easiest way

You may find "Lexan" better than perspex. Perspex has a habit of shattering if stressed.

I once put some (6mm thick) in a vise and whacked it as hard as I could with a big hammer. Almost broke my arm, but zero effect on the polycarbonate.
You might have more success searching for clear polycarbonate sheet as a generic description.Cheers,

Depends on the job when you take into consideration the extra cost of the lexan
When I was at the BHP special processes dept we made some bullet proof windows for the pay office in 3/8" lexan, they took the first one to a police firing range for testing , the sargent lined up and fired then fell to the ground , the bullet had bounced back , didn't penetrate or anything but more than knocked the wind out of him so they scrapped the lexan idea as too dangerious , & the excess lexan 91/2 8x4 sheets dissappeared in the foreign order dept , the uses that stuff can be put to and this was 1972 when it was a lot more expensive than it is today.Ashore

The risk is of course that if the firearm is discharged inside the boat the bullets will be deflected downwards through the bottom.
Maybe some big red notices around the interior warning people about the risks of discharging firearms would tame the Hooray Harrys enough to make the Lexan feasible.
Personally I prefer to keep firearms out of boats.
Best Regards to all

Their worry was that if a shot was fired it might hit people nearby who were picking up their pay .
There were about 20 windows in a line and 12,000 employes most on shiftwork all paid once a fourtnight so whenever those windows were open someone was about picking up their money , but I know how you feel our first thoughts were much the sameAshore

Marpleman, you can get perspex at Arunta Plastics in Mitcham. White pages has them. For others look under plastics in the yellow pages and start ringing.
