Too bad he didn't take a photo from above. Bet there are screw heads showing on the new upholstery.

Looks GOOD! That thar is a redneck crappie de-scaler... Hang your stringer of crappies on a bow cleat, doesn't matter which one, and head back to the dock. When you get back all the scales will be gone. (So will all the meat, but that's just a minor detail that needs to be worked out)

If he would only post here first! He didn't use any RTV. No wonder.

He just needs to put a little silicone, or bubble gum, around each one and he's good to go....LOL

At least he didn't screw it to the bunks of the trailer...now that would have been fun at launch time.

Naaaa a guy that'll run that many screws thru his hull doesn't deserve the good stuff....

My neighbor did the same thing a couple years ago installing a fuel tank, screwed it to the deck,,, and right through the hull. Nothing a little MarineTex and lost pride didn't fix.

Well its not ALL bad ..

At least he has a reason to fix them blisters and air voids on the bottom now .

YD.

PS. Ive never seen bolsters screwed to the deck before .. nor have I seen seat bases fastened that close together and so far forward. ( I would love to see the tops pictures ) .

I think a little Bond-O and he's good to go, although he might want to take the sharp edges off of those screws first... LOL... Holy Smokes!!!

He ground them down, used 5200 and some kind of putty to fix it.
