Hi the original bolster rail on my trophy keeps falling off. It is only 1/2" green board plywood with foam and upholstery. It is as a real pain to put the screws in from underneath.
I looked at wood options dimensions are 52" x 2.5" (thick) x 4.5" (wide down from the gunnel). Teak max thickness is 2" available and that is $520 plus tax for two boards and then I have to mill it. White oak is $200 or less and can come alot thicker 5" thickness.
I then saw a picture of plastic decking. Why not rip the groove off join two boards for length and then PL glue and air nail it to the inside of the gunnel. Then follow with screws in the back? Plastic would never need replacing and it would look sweet.
