[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 141664, member: 55"] Held up great, up until the point I sold the boat. Don't know if the current owner is using it or not, as I sold the boat and trolling motor separately, but as long as the plywood got painted or varnished or something to protect it from the elements, it should last quite a while. Never did improve it. The only issue was that the trolling motor leaned back just slightly, when deployed. I was going to space up the back blocks to level it, but it never happened, and didn't really hinder me much. That aluminum is just an odd extrusion. Years back, my dad found a bunch of those at the scrapyard, and bought them all. We use them for making saw fences, as the t - slots give us virtually unlimited hold down options. Coupled with a bucket of varying length 5/16 bolts and other random pieces, they make excellent jigs for fabricating one off parts. Just about any aluminum extrusion that is solid in the middle would be fine. Solid billet aluminum would work excellently as well. [/QUOTE]
