Thru bolt hull to top - advice wanted

[willydewitt2]

I have a 20' master angler 1976. I had the cap off and put back on with 5200 the whole way around. I through bolted every 6 inches with #10 machine screws, washers and nylon locknuts, I then ran a bead of 4200 around the outside bottom of the cap/hull joint and smoothed it out with the backside of a plastic spoon. It all came out great and the boat feels like never before, no chatter or any noises whatsoever. I think I overdid it, but maybe thats the way everything should be done on a boat, OVERDONE.
