Dave- Sounds like you got it figured pretty good and it's probably going to work just fine. Looking forward to the pics. The only thing I would do different is make the flexable part of the mold out of hard board rather then using a laminate espically if you are going to throw it away when you are finished. I think it would be quick and the 1/8 inch hard board would bend very easily around the plywood has a smooth shiney surface and is easy to cut.

John- I made the leaning post out of a piece of plastic bent at a 90 degree angle. then I laminated two pieces of plywood at a 90 degree angle slightly narrower then the plastic base. The Vinyl cushion is attached to the plywood backing and then it is bolted to the plastic base. There are some handles on either side of the leaning post that are hard to see in the pic. It's a quickie job and I've always thought that I would add a tackle center to the underside rear of the post but never did. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do on the new boat as of yet.... still thinking about the stern [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
