BTW, do not use normal mild steel screws as I did, order stainless
from Jamestown Supply. After 4 years, my boats that are sailed in
salt water have the screws under the epoxied joints rusting and
expanding creating a mess at the edges. I had to dig all of them out
on one boat and glass over the joint. This year I have to do the
second boat the same way.

That was the one thing I'm not going to skimp on , it will be used in a
high salt brackish water.
