Remounting Center Console/T-top-1986 Fisherman

[jsylvester08]

Last season I got a t-Top for my 1986 Fisherman . The T-top attaches to the console so luckily I put a few new holes in the console but none in the floor. Unfortunately I had to pull a few screws to give me better access and when I went to re tighten the screws a few of them kept spinning. I assume the console/floor are original (I've only had her 5 years) so I assume a few of the holes have rotted or just striped. I wish I could redo the floors but that's way out of my range with a 9 month old waiting for her maiden voyage this summer. So what do I do? I have seen a few ideas to fill the holes with a dowel or epoxy and re drill and rescrew. With the added T-top I don't want to have the screws pull out while hitting a bad wave or something. Any help would be great. I'm in NY so I have a month or two before she goes back in the water.
