Wood is rotted on the current ones(namely port side) so looks like I get to try my hand at cutting new patterns. Going to use 3/8" plywood. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions on changes and/or things they wished they had of done when they did theirs. I was thinking about using a minwax sealer or something similar to keep these from sucking up water. With the boom off the side you can definitely tell the port side gets a lot of spray/splash action. Looked at going composite, but geez its pricey. Was also going to reinforce the speaker area with a ring of 3/8" for mounting strength. For actual pad to gunnel mounting I was thinking some small carraige bolts???

You could do the inserts that go in the back side and are thredded. Then get bolts or screws with lock washers to exact size so that it doesnt protrude into the foam/vinyl.
I used bolts just pushed into the wood on the rear but I had to use those inserts on the armrest part because it had to slide into place so bolts sticking down would not work.
I used that same treated Ply.

CPES the ply. No on the Minwax sealer.
