In the process of building one as you type.
I'll be back in a day or so with finished pictures
Leo_N has a good polly baitboard on his 5.3 poly. Try sending him a pm.
built mine in centre of boat
Product called Bait Mate being advertised in Bush n Beach.
See pic in BnB
All alloy & powder coated & have rod holders etc.
They look OK.
Cheers
Phil
Snappa built his own and came up very well, PM him and I am sure he will send you some photos.

Built mine.You can get Capral to cut aluminium sheets,to suit your needs.
Poly board can also be purchased,to size.
I made a template out of card board,cut out the shape with jigsaw,had it folded,then welded.
Bolt on is best
David
I used 50X50 angle for the top surround,some 12 X12 Square to make a gutter on the edge of the angle,then screwed the poly to the 12X 12 square.
Put a drain in one corner.
Sides are checker plate.
David
Take care to make the front lower,or at least level with the board,for cutting purposes.I now have a shelf under the top,and stuck fish measurements on the back part of the board surround.
Also recommend that you make provision for knife holder, on the side.
Where are you situated?
David
Shelf in,and painted
I designed one and had it made for me. I just bolted it to the boat. Has the advantage of protecting the motor when pusing through narrow mangrove creeks.
i take it that if you have the bait board over the top of your motor, the engines have trim and tilt, otherwise wouldn't it get in the way of lifting the engine up??or walk through transoom??
dnej - very good job, looks good mate, very professional look to it
Being a poly craft, couldnt you just use the sides

I'm looking for a supplier of polyethylene sheeting to build one as well. Does anybody know where to get it from (in NSW)
hey mine is kinda the same as dnej and we used the plastic from the middle of the recycling bin and cut out holes in the vorners so all the fish blood,guts e.t.c drains out.
ill try and get some pics.
