can't catch a fish so I worked on the bolsters today.
My first time doing this. worked out pretty OK. Not the best corners... I bought vinyl and foam from onlinefabrics 3yds x54" $33 and 2"x24"x59" eva-dry foam $33. Enough vinyl to do the job twice plus some.. spray adhesive and Monel staples(West Marine $27 ouch!) brass grommets for drainage/airflow. bought at West Marine $19 kit then saw them at Lowes for $8 covering the 3/4" x 5 1/2" PVC fascia. added 3 mounting bolts before starting the job. Will mount on the gunnels if it ever stops raining.

Done..for now.
mounted the bolsters, looks great.
Now to see who is the first one to bury a treble hook in them... Also, someone mentioned my splash well in the fishing forum. I covered the front half with starboard and a piece of angle aluminum for reinforcement. (Strong enough to hold my 200 lbs) Cooler tie downs and a homemade starboard cutting board mounted to the cooler. With the cooler off, the Suzuki can raise all the way. Also made new deck lids for inside the cuddy and added a hawse pipe to pass the anchor line through to the cuddy Still have a bunch of starboard left for more projects.

Nice project! I agree those rod holders stink as rod holders but, where to you put your gaff, your stern light, & boat hook?

Doug PS I lucked out & had a friend who's a retired upholsterer do my bolsters, yours looks every bit as well done.
