Supposed to be in the mid to high teens this weekend, enough to start some fiberglassing:)
Our toe rail comes in four (4) sections. Took off the aft, port quarter last weekend to re-bed them. Found they were held down with bronze screws, some which were eroded, (or corroded), to the shape of 2" tacks, not a lot but enough. These screws hold the deck to the hull.
So, we bought 300, 3 1/2" long 1/4 20 stainless steel flathead bolt with corrosponding locknuts and flatwashers to beging the thankless job of bolting the deck THROUGH the hull.
Love the boat, but using screws to fasten such a critical structure was just cheap and lazy.
