Should be using stainless screws with fender washers and locknuts. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Ive seen this before, I was helping a guy at the ramp one day, This guy was having alot of trouble getting his boat off the trailer, he kept backing up the rig but it just wouldnt come off, I talked him into pulling it up (thinking he had a strap holding on) and I saw the screws, he had a look of utter despair......ya see he had just bought his first boat and had repaired the floor,carpet and all.......he screwd the hull to the bunks!....lol.

Many years ago I had a G3 (wish I still had it!), anyways, the sub-floor foam was completely soaked, so out the floor came and all the waterlogged foam. Then I ended up giving the boat away (sure wish I hadn't), and the fellow gets back to me with there were a few saw cuts in the hull. Well, yeah, I took the floor out as careful as I could, but had a bunch of glass work to do and figured those few narrow holes would get filled from the inside and smoothed out before paint. Not for him, he scrapped the boat!

I wish I still had it, I got an extra 100 horse merc...
