[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 275708, member: 9169"] Thanks Dave. I appreciate the responses!! I got all the bolts removed from the transom yesterday. I'll plan to replace with stainless steel nuts and bolts. I'm assuming I should use nuts with nylon type "lockers"? The facotry bolt heads had some sort of rubber washer on them. Should I be replacing those as well? I'm going to order a harbor freight air hammer today for replacement of the facotry rivets that I'll have to remove to get the transom out. Any idea what size rivets I need? I haven't removed any yet, so maybe it would be best to remove them first so I can measure and know what size solid rivets I need? Also trying to get an idea of what size blind rivets I'll need for my framing? Seems alot of guys on here use 3/16" x 1/2"?? I'm still a little stumped on how to mount a seat base to the floor. Not sure I'll have room or even be able to access underneath the floor to use stainless steel bolts. Shouldn't be an issue with the deck, but mounting one to the floor is where I forsee issues.
