I have a 17/54 express with two milennium rod holders mounted on the deck. The aluminum flexes and the rod holders move more than I would like. I'm thinking about taking a sheet of 3/4 treated plywood, putting marine carpet on it, and carriage bolting it to my deck. Then remounting my rod holders and seat bases. I think it will really sturdy up everything. Has anyone ever done this or something similar? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you
