[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 500717, member: 33627"] Thanks for the replies. I bought the boat in humid Santa Cruz, CA and brought it to very dry Tucson, AZ so I think the wood dried out quite a bit. I also took her on a road trip to Baja CA last week and between poor paved roads and rough seas, she had her share of vibrations. Here are a few photos of loose or missing screws. I lost a screw from one of the seat bottoms. There are more loose screws in some of the compartment hinges, but my wife is out copying the key so I can't open them now. I also lost about half the lag screws from my 2018 tracker trailer bunks, so we had to use fishing line and paracord to keep the bunks on for the trip home from Mexico. I plan to fix that with recessed bolts that go down through the bunks and use nylock nuts on the bottom instead of lag screws that go up from the bottom. [/QUOTE]
