I think marking then visually lining up on boot center and ski center, clamp the jig and drill to the moon.

Here's one I tried last season. Maybe it'll give you inspiration.

To center them, I'd just put a notch at the center of the top and bottom of the jig then line it up with the vertical center of the skis. Clamping just use quick clamps/c clamps. Keep it as simple as possible.

Look into using 80/20 extruded aluminum for the rails if you go that route.

Just make sure you measure the crap out of the holes before you drill, mark them using the jig you make and make sure they're all in the right spot and square before you drill
