Hey Mike,
Nothing to trick, but it works great, I have the holes tapped so the seats can come real easy and it jut leaves the plates. I hated the idea of wood screws into the stringers to hold the seats down.

As for how ther river was, well we spent most of the time laying sod, about 1500sf in my site and another 2000sf in two other sites and not have my boat done to go play in sucked, but other wise it was great.
Not sure if Hack Job and Flat Broke will offer to come help again..lol But it would of been a long day without there help...thanks again guys.
