Sitting in a drift boat for hours on end springer fishing this last week I decided that there must be a reason for this...

Why are the cup holders in the front of an aluminum drift boat made out of material thats at least 15 times thicker than anything else on the boat ??? I mean, how heavy can a cup of coffie or a beer be ??? It seems to be this way on every alum boat I have seen...
