I like this idea of using a white plastic cutting board for a backing plate.
I'm going to file that one away for myself.

Thanks

I use those hard 1/2" thick cutting boards with ss fender washers and
nylock
nuts. Also I put epoxy between the backing plate and fiberglass. The
cutting board material cuts and drills like wood. Obviously it will never
rot and will not react with the bolts. I put my wake tower on 4 years ago
using them and I sometimes pull 6 people on 2 super screamer tubes from
the
tower with no problems.
