i know it's not fancy, but all I wanted was a step. I used the actual seat bottom, I never even took it off the boat. Applied quarter inch plexiglass with countersunk screws to attach it. And then the top is a 3/16" inch shop type nonskid mat you can buy at Walmart. Works great and does not flex and if I jump on it . The mat is glued down with epoxy image.jpg image.jpg
