[QUOTE="maddog, post: 249584, member: 8022"] thanks for the tips on the 5200. I didn't see any at the local lowes but I will check HD and the auto parts store. I think it is spar varnish, I would have to look at the can to be sure. I got it at lowes, it is rustoleum brand. It is the milky colored stuff that is kind of rubbery. I sealed the edges and both sides of the boards. That area normally doesn't get much if any water on it but I don't want it to hold water in if it does get wet. I can sand the edges though if I need to remove the sealer from the edges. I have mostly stainless hardware. The front bracing for under the casting deck has carriage bolts made out of steel. It isn't gavlanized but I think zinc plated? It is bolted through wood and then the aluminum angle I riveted to the seats. the screws to fasten the transom boards are stainless 1.5", I just picked those up today. I didn't get a chance to work on the boat tonight, the weather was pretty bad here. Tomorrow should be a better day to work outside. thanks again for all the suggestions and help. This is my first time rebuilding a boat! [/QUOTE]
