I have a pair on the shelf that I donated to Phragles avanti project. I may pull a mold before they go, I'll get some pics and measurements on monday. They are plain white gel but putting a Gibco non slip pattern in the mold is simple enough.

Dave my boat is a three man center steer setup across the front so just one long footrest across the whole front like 70 inches long is what I would want made. Right now the floor meets the bulkhead on a 90 and its not really comfortable.

I would be interested in a set my Mirage in front of the bolsters if you decide to make more.

You would be better off going to a local T-Top (fishing boat type stuff) welder and having him make something that you can bolt in. My AT has one from the factory and I love it; more so than any molded footrest I've seen. Why? Because I can put my weight on one foot, and hook the other foot under the bar to hold me in.

When you go out in 12s-20s like we do, you have to do something for guests who are used to other lesser brands.
