[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 246216, member: 5151"] Thanks franner, I used regular stainless screws that are available at Lowes or Home Depot. They are not self tapping. I pilot drilled all the holes and screwed them in by hand. I have used the boat for a full season and towed it a couple of thousand miles and nothing has loosened up, no squeaks. I didn't use toggle bolts because my seats are foam filled and I didn't want to drill larger holes for the toggles and have to remove foam. I'm sure that there are applications where toggle bolts are the best solution. [/QUOTE]
