[QUOTE="Big_ug_chevy, post: 411022, member: 20435"] Check out my build as it will answer most if not all your questions. As far as the Total Boat getting hot, it hasn't so far.... I will let you know after a 90 degree day. That being said, reviews on the product say it doesn't get hot to the touch. I tried to stay away from self tapping screws as much as I can as they strip out more than not. On the decking that I have no intention of removing I used rivets (best thing ever invented). On the decking that I might one day have to take up I used a tap and die kit for machine thread bolts with a hex head drive. I also add a drop of lock tight to each bolt for added security. As far as trim goes, yes there is marine trim that you can get, I used it on my flooring, hatch lids I made, hell, I used it on just about everything lol, which you can see in my pics. BTW, for sealing rivets, holes, bolts or anything marine for that matter you will need to invest in a sealant called 5200. This stuff is a beast!!! [/QUOTE]
