Platform Brackets

[nautiquesonly]

Hello Correct Craft fans I am in the process of installing a teak swim platform on my beautifully restored 1980 Nautique. This boat has never had a platform and I have purchased all I need to get it done. Removable brackets and a teak deck for less than $200. I believe I should mount the brackets with 3/8X 5 inch SS lag bolts with 5200 adhesive. Just curious if anyone has gone this route or do you have a better idea? Any ideas are appreciated.

Thank You,

Be careful with the 5" lag bolts because they may go intoyour gas tank I normally use thru bolts and backer plates to mount the brackets and normally use 4200 just in case i need to remove the brackets later. Also chamfer the holes so you do not get stress cracks in you gelcoat.

I see after looking at the set up that thru-bolting is the only way to go. It appears as though part of the bulk-head will need to be cut away to access the lower bolts. the gas tank will be removed. Thanks for you help.
