New starboard modifications

I recently called my local Boaters World to inquire about the cost of StarBoard material to make a few things for my boat. The sales person told me that that much material would cost a small fortune, I already knew that, and he suggested I go to a local plastics recycler. He said "I buy mine for my own projects there all the time". Long story short, they had all kinds of StarBoard, still has the plastic peel from the factory on it, .40 / pound, thats forty cents per pound! I bought two sheets of 3/4 X 24 X 44 for $14.00 each. Those pieces would cost over $100 each through Marine supply stores. Anyway here are a few pictures of some of the things I've made so far.
The first pic is of a vertical rod storage holder for the front of the center console.
The next one is of a mount I made for the electronics to conserve space in the console.
The last one is a quick release mount for my trolling motor.
