Thanks guys, those sound like great options to giving at least a little more rigidness to the system. I can't believe how the factory sent these...

Thank you so much! That really gives me a good perspective on the mounting perspective. This will be my 4th boat resto, but this is the biggest...
Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it! I agree, using some nice thick aluminum or etc for supporting the mounts, much more reliable than...
