Well, I've Gone Over To The Glass Side

[rockmike]

Bought a glass boat over the weekend, and need advice on attaching the Hi-Tek bases to the floor. I can't get under it to through bolt it.

["G"]

Stainless steel screws and epoxy.

Like G-3 said, stainless steel screws will hold it. My boat is fiberglass and the stainless steel screws are holding just fine.

And dont forget to GORRILA GLUE them in .

[Wannabe...]

Go with the largest course thread you can get by with, pre drill the hole just undersized for the screw, but not so big the threads won't get maximum bite and torque it down good. That's all that is needed. I did not glue nor epoxy any of mine, but you're welcome too if it makes you feel better. Just give it a good check after your 1st, 3rd and 8th trip to make sure they haven't loosened.


And post some pics dadgummit or next time we're charging for the free advice.

And another thing, next time you buy a boat and come on here and give us the details and describe it only as a "glass boat", I'm gonna kick you in the knee.

It's a Triton TA196 with a 150 Optimax. Bought it from a guy in Georgia. Long drive for an old guy. It's the boat that was listed here---there are pics there. I'll get Creek to give me a tutorial in picture posting.
