Default Bored with hardboard?

Bored with hardboard?.... I was, so I cut out a piece of marine ply, gave it a couple of coats of yacht varnish, you never know when your R75 will decide to take on water again.
Well, I don't get out much these days.
Kev.

I've got a sheet of ply and will be doing this job myself soon. Never thought of varnishing it though. Looks nice, well done

Hi Kevin.
Nice touch much stronger as well, did you also drill the holes so the soft mat could still be attached, I did way have a thought of try to see if a tourer boot flap would fit but never got round to it.

That’s a proper job, far better than the originals.
