Author	Topic:   How not to do upholstery work
ktm3ten	posted 05-15-2009 11:07 PM ET (US)         Might be careful about who does work, thankfully in a whaler, I'm not sure this would ever happen as the hull is too thick. Scary pictures none the less: http://forums.capmel.com/post?id=3417367

mandy03	posted 05-17-2009 12:24 AM ET (US)             I saw that happen on a ski boat once, not quite so many screws though. I guess if a couple screws is good the whole box of them is even better.

R T M	posted 05-17-2009 06:50 AM ET (US)          I have screwed several wooden cleats to the floor in my 13 footer. After I do this I invariably look under the boat to see if any screws are sticking out. So far so good. rich/Binkie
