[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 472071, member: 21536"] Lots of guys do something similar. If it were me, I would remove the cleats and remount them on top of the 2x6 using the existing holes and longer bolts. That way the board is laying flat on the gunnel which makes it more solid, more resistant to the DR forces, and you can still use the cleats. And, I agree that a backer should be used under the gunnel. [/QUOTE]
