Chris,
Just did mine in fiberglass. Also the same for the shelf above. HArder work but neat installation. With all the stress and the possible water infiltration I like the glass.

Great thanks,
I actually have allot of thick Fiberglas boards that wont be hard to cut to shape. The only reason I asked this question was because I was told that on the rudders the wood helps absorb shock??
I will be putting up pics of my restoration on my Bahia Mar right now it is a bare shell but because of all the info on this site I think I am prepared for the mountain of a task!
