Abstract
An integrally moulded plastic boat hull structure is provided with a plurality of threaded inserts for securing associated boat components. Each of the threaded inserts is moulded into the boat hull structure with a force dissipating planar member which directs the localized forces away from the threaded insert to an enlarged boat hull region proximate the threaded insert. By spreading the load over a greater region, a highly localized load point is avoided.
