WOW ! Been there, done that ! Each picture brought me back to my resto. I was itchy just thinking of the work you did.

The end result is fantastic. You made yourself a custom boat. Enjoy the h*ll out of it.

I was wondering, how did you mount the tubular seat frame to the the inner liner ? Is it bolted through the hull ?

Thanks Al.
Yeah,you're right,I never want to see a Tyvek suit again.

The seat frames are mounted to the floor with ss screws into the deck,along with 5200 sealant.

The mounts to the sides were a bit difficult,especially the ones that are in the upper part of the liner.
The space between the liner and hull at that spot is only about 1/2".

We ended up using this tool that is kind of like a pop rivet gun,only it installs threaded inserts,that are only about 1/2" long.
A friend of mine is a mechanic at a chemical co,and he was able to borrow it.

We marked where we needed the holes and installed the inserts,and used 5/16"x3/4" stainless machine bolts to mount the flange.
They were just long enough to hold,but short enough to not touch the hull.
The rear tube is mounted to the pillar,so we could thru bolt those.
