[QUOTE="richg99, post: 237592, member: 4376"] Drilling the first holes. What boater hasn't had the doubts and hesitation before making that FIRST hole in their boat? Doesn't even matter if the boat was owned by 5 or 6 other people before...and they had made it into a pin-cushion. Drilling YOUR first hole is frightening. What if it is in the wrong place? What if it is too big? Well, with a lot of experience...I can tell you that the first hole PROBABLY WILL BE in the wrong place. These days, I try to clamp things down and try them out before making them permanent. Even with all of the thought and measuring, somehow, when the boat is on the water, you quickly find out that where it should be.....is NOT where you put it. Go slow, and don't kill yourself if you do put it in the wrong place. You won't be alone, and the boat will still float. regards, R [/QUOTE]
