What's the price
What's the price difference?
I would definitely be going for the 5mm if it were me. I think 5mm bottom and 4mm sides is pretty standard at that size.

1000$
Only 1000$ they recon it's only 30kg more in weight

If built right , 4mm bottom and 3mm sides, If you are indoubt i can take you for a spin in a 520 cc (will not mention make) that will blow you away.. Last person i took for a spin in it went and purchased the exact boat the next day, and that is no exaduration

I had a 5500 Origin axis that had 5mm hull and 4mm sides, I'd go for the thicker hull.

go bigger
if that were me, I would be going the 5mm, especially if youre going to hang onto the boat for a good few years.
you might notice some fatigued welds or hairline cracks in some boat builds after a few years, especially when thinner materials are involved. also that extra 30kg will better your ride.

I'd go the 5mm bottom.
As well as a bit more weight and strength in the water, it will also be tougher on the trailer if you want tto take it across corrugated roads into the sort of places where a boat like that is perfect

I would go for the 5mm plate with all those big sets of teeth going around at the moment.
