[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 355477, member: 9470"] To replace my rivets I used stainless steel button head bolts, 1/4" with a nylon washer between the stainless and the aluminum so the metals wouldn't touch and stay happy longer. I used nylock nuts on all bolts and 5200 if I were close to or below the water line. As far as your framing in the transom corners goes I personally would use the horizontal and vertical holes left from the removal of the bench as anchor points for my rear deck framing. Have the fab shop weld you some tabs onto the transom to bolt framing to that way you can still design the rear deck how you want. As far as livewell I'm not sure if you seen it or not but I used my old bench seat as a livewell, turned it upside down, a couple cuts along with SS hardware and 5200 and I have a 22 gallon livewell.
