Hey all,<br /><br />I am working on my project boat that i purchased. (See Sig for More Info)<br /><br />We removed the floor and floatation foam because it was saturated and rotted out..<br /><br />We are installing a new floor and floatation foam, as well as all new seat bases and chairs.<br /><br />Before I put the floor in, i wanted to ask what to do about mounting the pedestals..<br /><br />They are "Bell" type, so they don't counter sink into the floor, but obviously the screws to mount the seat base do have to go into the floor.<br /><br />The floor is 1/2" ply wood, and directly under the plywood, is the Hull. Obviously there is some space, but not much, not enough to drop a 3" screw threw the floor.<br /><br />What is the best way i can mount thease pedestals?<br /><br />Thanks for the help.<br /><br />-TheChad
