[QUOTE="TheMaestro, post: 262015, member: 8533"] Ok so I started today by removing the outside transom plate. I originally thought it was plywood, but it turned out to be some composite material, almost like formica, but stronger. I dont like the look of it, so Im going go replace it with aluminum diamond plate. While I was at it, I removed the corner braces/pulls as some of the screws were stainless, while others were rusty bolts. Luckily, they werent seized.. I also removed the screws holding the braces on the bench seats. I want to leave the seats, but the screws were rusty, so I want to replace them with stainless. They were not cooperating so I used my dremel clone to shear them off. Interesting that the nuts used were furniture nuts, most likely because its difficult to reach under with a wrench or socket. I doubt these are available in S.Steel, so Im not sure what I will use.
