[QUOTE="muskyhunter1978, post: 512395, member: 34965"] Thats exactly the type of information I was looking for. Thank you. My boats too are fresh water only and trailered so I'm not overly concerned about the galvanic issues. I will look for the 316 SS bolts however. My wood core build was to glue up the layers, then dropped it in the boat to get my holes drilled. I then pulled the wood back out and redrilled each hold 1/8' larger than they needed to be. Then I coated the wood in epoxy resin and filled each drill hole completely with epoxy. Then I dropped it back in the boat again and redrilled through the epoxy center of the holes with the 1/4" bit again. Essentially all the wholes are sealed with epoxy. I was planning on gooping sealer on the boats during install just to hear confirmation on it and if the nylon washers are a good idea. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
