The 115 2 stroke is pushing +/- 2% variance in compression at 122-124psi and a leakdown held for 20 minuYada.So I decided to do the whole boat. Coosa in transom, new hoses, fittings, floor, reframing the front into a better casting platform, NMEA2K, Ethernet, full blown lithium battery banks, full electronics package, full elevated track system, Yada, yada.I'm also surprised by those rusty self tappers. Like you, I spent some time grinding broken screws down. I decided to hinge the center board and the helm board so all hoses can be fully accessed. Those marine plywood boards got 4 coats totalboat cold weather epoxy, 1/4" foam glued down and I am using the gray Maridecking vinyl glued and stapled. This vinyl is fairly heavily embossed and gives a nice slip resistance. I think the clean lines update the look of the boat.I was surprised at the poor condition of the floor boards when we pulled them up. I'm considering using fewer fewer floor screws and using stainless big head screws and washers this time around.</blockquote>
