[QUOTE="HahnZooKeeper, post: 278878, member: 6693"] Update 8/10/12: Checked transom fit as well as did some final drilling in the protector plate. It's looking good, just need to find some "truss head" screws locally, it's been difficult. I would like to use Truss Heads rather than round/pan head only because of the head diameter. (it's what was used before.) Sand it once more and another coat of urethane, and it's done!!! Every time I mention urethane anymore, my wife rolls her eyes! It's comical! Got a start on the carpeting... Did NOT realize how difficult it was!!! Had my 15 yr old boy helping me, what a trooper, we worked for a solid 1-1/2 hrs on our first 4 pieces. Check pics, pretty happy with results. Finally, I was out at my local Wal Mart and found the seat posts I have been looking for on clearance. Originally $12 marked down to $3. SOLD!!! For things like this, I love Wal Mart! So check your Wal Mart and get what you can! [/QUOTE]
