I think what I'll do is cut all the rotted wood out, then make up the oak to fit in it's place.
Where the feet bolt thru I will use Say a 6" x 1/4" aluminum plate, then oak, then glass over and finish coat.
Once done I will pencil scribe the holes and then drill & tap to appropriate size machine screws.
For the very rear mount I will cut an access hole in the side and squeeze a backing plate/lock nuts and thru-bolt it.
Reason bieng the rear mount takes the most abuse. That's where everyone grabs and pulls/pushes while docking and grabs onto while going up the bow.
The other mounts will be a heck of alot stronger then they are now.
