I have a 2019 370 Express, new to me only 1 month. I was cleaning and found a compartment that had this small, I think it's a table. I can't figure out where it's supposed to go. Anyone know? Thanks!

Flip it over and take a picture. Any mounting hardware?

No mounting bracketl. Probably not a GW add on.

Yes, it looks definitively like a table ex owner probably built.
It looks to me as the frame with the two holes is to fit a hole like a locker cover or between two seats or benches.
The two holes have a reason, no-one would drill them just for fun, check where you find two tubes who fit inside this holes.

Possibly cup holders.

I don't know what it is but it is a beautiful piece of workmanship, The wood is beautifully grained. Definitely custom.

The holes don't look like cup holders at all, more like a place to insert a table leg or foot (short leg) . If you look closely at the right underside, you can see that the wood 'ribbing' stops short of the right end and looks like it may hang onto some sort of edge. I wonder if it is some sort of step to make getting in and out at the dock easier.
Let us know if yoy figure it out. Can you contact the previous owner?

With the looks of that well finished walnut, I would guess that is a game table of some sort.

Are there any table leg sockets on the boat with the same spacing as those on the mystery piece?

What is the purpose of the holes on the underside

There are little feet that pop up from the burners, to hold pans in place, I think they are inserted into the holes to keep the table in place. Haven't tried it yet.

Thats what i guessed and for that reason i suggested that it's a table.
Basically same as a seat or table with a single tube, but as the two pop up feet are on the border of the table there are two and not one in the center.
Nice invention!

That's odd. A mystery table in your new 370 Express! Have you checked the owner's manual? It might have a section on accessories or hidden compartments. Also, try searching online forums or Facebook groups dedicated to Parker boats. Other owners might have encountered the same thing.

Ex owner probably installed this table before hmorris bought the boat used.
From how as it's made and the raised edge it may serve as tray, or just as storage when cooktop is not in use.
I have a cutting board over the gas burners glass lid in my RV Trailer.
