When I was awards chair for a major regatta, I went to a Mikasa store in an
outlet mall. Caught a bunch of nice glassware on closeout at 60% off. Found
styles that had large, medium and small bowls, etc. Had trophy shop make
engraved labels and stuck them on. Was relatively cheap.
As a boatowner, I like glass trophies. I hate silver trophies.

Take it off and drill a smaller hole as you would for a wood screw. The
fiberglass layer must be bored out to the diameter of the screw (5/16") or it
will start cracking. So do that just at the top of the holes. Set the head in
place and ratchet down the front two until it can't wiggle and mark the rear
ones. Remove, repeat the drilling and don't forget the washers and a thin bead
if silicone sealant under the base. Worked like a charm for us newbies. Ron

listers have for bolting this in place. There does not seem to be any access
under the platform the current head is on. Toggle bolts have been suggested.
Or creating an inspection port for placement of nuts/washers. Is there
anything under there I need to worry
about damaging? Thanks.
