I doubled my floor under the pedestals to get the 1.5" thickness. One of the guys on here suggested T bolts when doing the through bolts. Worked out well for me. As for the Grade 8 bolts, you wont be breaking those... lol SHSU

Looks good and like the reuse of the box. Putting any heat shield on the cabinet since it is right over the burners? SHSU

Looks like the original foam I pulled out of my SS16 SHSU

Looks like the foam I pulled out of my 1986 SS16 SHSU

That is a pretty helm you are putting together. I like the real wood choice. If only I had room for such a large project/boat. SHSU

Looks good. I like your choice in vinyl!!! Admiral and I picked the same. SHSU

Tractor paint worked well for me too. I used hardener too, but don't know if it was necessary. SHSU

How did you mount the trolling motor on the front? Looks like you used spacers to make it level. SHSU

There are varying opinions on Salt-Away, I personally haven't tried it so I can't say. That being said, 8 out of 10 trips will be in saltwater for us and I only use water/soap. I would guess that it should be fine, if not primarily used for that and you rinse it off as best you can when you...

Don't carpet if you are going to use in saltwater. If not, then shouldn't be a problem. SHSU

No idea, but think it should be easy to test. Although doing it with earmuffs might not provide enough water/pressure. SHSU

Can you just have the siren circuit disengaged when the starter is going? Have a simple always closed solenoid that opens when the starer is energized? SHSU

If you splashwell is separating all the time, I would check your transom to make sure it is still good. Something is twisting during use that is causing the stress/separation to occur. SHSU

Man I need that winch system you have. I should have thought of that when I did mine. I used the old engine lift method. SHSU

How is the splashwell holding up when you step on it? I remember when I had the old one it never felt very secure. Might have been just the bad rivets and rotten transom, but seemed to flex a lot under my weight. SHSU
