Re: Footrest completed
The footrest worked real good on Sunday when I had my nephews out for a ride. Their feet barely made it, but at least they got to sit up front. I forgot my camera but will get some pics soon.

I would have used a cooler, but the new wells don't run straight to the fiberglass. They curve up to an angled footrest so it was hard for a cooler to sit flat. Same purpose achieved.

Re: Footrest completed
Hey Guys:
Here some pics of the footrest installed. I'm going to use Velcro to affix the piece to the fiberglass.
I've included a pic of the driver's area without the footrest so you can get an idea of how it fits in. On the driver's side I'm going to angle the box because it doesn't need to be square. The square box assists in climbing on the deck.
Who knows..maybe Pepe and JO may integrate molded fiberglass for the newer boats. I have the dimensions and will put them on a PDF file for transfer should anyone want them.

Wow those look nice for a guy that has never held a hand saw! LOL! 
I might look into the building a few of these boxes someday.
You could use them as a storage or tool box too.
I still need to make a few of these ramped footrest.
I think they would help me out as I would rather stand most of the time.
