Sol.....I used leftover pcs. of Azek or pvc trim 3/4" thick, that we use for exterior trim as backing plates for my rod holders, glued it with 3m 5200 to the underside of my gunwales. I can put some pieces aside for you if you'd like. There are usually some short pieces left on the jobsite after the exterior is done.

That's very nice of you for the offer, I will have to get home next week and take a look at the underside and see what I'm up against and let you know. I'm stuck in NY until the 20th so maybe by the weekend ill have a plan and I will touch base if I decide to let you know.
Thanks so much

Been working in the boat house all wither. Put a new winch on the trailer. Re-pack the wheel bearing and doing some wiring on one of the read lights.
As far as the boat is concerned, been washing, using FSR and Barkeepers Friend and just received my complete Poli-Glow kit. This week will start on the Poli.
Really nothing to do in the boat. Put in a NEMA 2000 2 years ago. 2 VHF radios, Garmin 546S GPS and Garmin 300C FF. Tighten a few screws and done. New bilge pump and livewell pump last year.
