[QUOTE="summers, post: 193873, member: 4068"] The Gregor and the Delta are very similar the delta was a small branch or side arm project by some former employees of Gregor the two brands were even build in the same town (Fresno Ca) my boat never left the area in the lat 25 years or three different owners. I found that even with the angle attached the the benches it made a huge increase in the support, run it from the gunnels down to the floor, and your right it does save space on top of the benches. I used a 1/4 ss alan head bolt with lock washers and looking nuts to attach the angle to the gunnels and 3/16 aluminum rivets to the bench sides. But drill the top bolt hole first and hand tighten the nut because your going to want the rivets to be flush then go back and fully tighten the 1/4 bolt due to the slight twist at the top of the gunnle. the first one was a pain but they got easier once i figured out the first one. The twist at the gunnels becomes a little more significant toward the front of the boat if you want o keep the strait line. [/QUOTE]
