Default Hard Top Out Rigger Hole Repair

I pulled (2) TACO outriggers off of my hardtop and have (2) 4" holes through the 1" thick nidacore with thin fiberglass glass/ gelcoat skin - there also (4) through-bolt holes per outrigger that held the outriggers in place.

What would you do to cover this ?

I've cut and routered (2) pairs of 1/4" starboard - a top and bottom to through-bolt and sandwich the hardtop, they are the perfect color match, but I'm pretty sure nothing will stick to starboard to allow this to be a water tight seal. Unless someone has done this and has had success with sealing starboard ?

I could use teak - ugly, or aluminum - also not as nice as the starboard. Or, I could glass this area ( a lot of work ! )

Thoughts ? Ideas ?
