Would it actually pay to make these things out of G10? I figure that if my local West has em they must sell them to somebody.

Are you looking at this as a potential business? If so you've got to
get a handle on what the potential market is, what your distribution
channels are, along with your costs, price point and ROI. Frankly I
doubt that it's a big market unless you can become an official
supplier to either a boat builder or outrigger manufacturer.

If you have NC machine tools sitting around idle that would help to
kick start a small scale manufacturing operation.
