[QUOTE="Trapper02, post: 259547, member: 8314"] Ok i think i have over thought this and made it harder than it should be on measuring for that bolt. While looking at springs it just hit me the spring width is 1 3/4" so my U Bolt inside measurement needs to be that too. I found these 2 for about $25 bucks. Yeesh stainless steel sure isn't cheap. But then again this boat was stored outside in the elements, i have a barn to keep it in. I probably would be okay to go with Hot Dipped Galvanized and save a few bones and not get the rust problems since boat will be stored out of elements. Here is the stainless steel option. 1-3/4" wide 2-1/2" tall 2.20" center-to-center Threads: 7/16" Thread length: 1 ½" Overall height: 3" Inside heights: 2-5/8" https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Stainless-Steel-U-Bolts,6968.html?baseNo=91633014#tabcontent [/QUOTE]
