Coaming Bolster

[sidelock]

Has anyone fabricated their own coaming bolsters ? I'd like to make a set for my 18' SF and would like to know what's the best material to use for backing, foam & vinyl. Any tips or insight would be appreciate it.
Did a search but didn't come up with anything !

I made some years ago using the cellular pvc, (like the pvc trim boards they sell at Lowes). Easy to work with. Solid and flexible.

I re-covered the pvc type backers in mine a few years ago and they're holding up good.

Interested in hearing opinions/advice weather the coaming pads on an 18' would look better if they go all the way forward to the anchor locker or just end at the junction where the caps meet the liner just above fish box/raised forward casting deck ?
