Ken,
Some of your questions can be answered by looking at page 95. You can see
that a plate was made up of hybrid (about 1/8") for backing. The three bolts
shown were located by using the chain plate as a guild (we use three holes in
it). The bolt length will be determined while you're fitting the deck. The
three holes should be first drilled in the backing blocking using the chain
plate as a guide. After installing the block between station 7 and 8, drill
the holes on through the hull. After you've completed fitting the deck
(before bonding it), drill the holes up from the bottom through the deck.
I hope this helps,
Best regards,
Bram
