[QUOTE="jackspirko, post: 15660, member: 199"] Same bases I used in my boat. I have the front on 3/4s and that is fine. On the rear deck I used 15/16ths ply. So what I did was place a second square of 3/4s just a bit larger then the foot print on the base and attach it under the deck and then screwed the base into both the 15/16th and on through to the 3/4s. I used screws that were just a bit to short to come out the other side. No problems to speak of and you can just use some scrap wood to do it. :D Basically this is like adding one big giant washer. I glued mine but just to hold it in place while I had the deck back in place and was attaching the seats. If the glue fails now it won't matter the screws will hold it fast. [/QUOTE]
