Thought my interior make over for the front bow would be a licky sticky quicky. Not trying for anything marvalous, bc kids use it for a playground, but realised shortly after starting to pull the rotten pieces out i had a problem. Looks as if on my 1995 Caravelle Interceptor 232, the bow side cushions were bolted on before the hull was put together. There is only about a 1" space between the floor hull and the top cap to get to the back side bolt locations. Also the front cushion i physically cant reach bc i dont have arms 5' long. The ice chest/storage compartment is one piece with the whole top. So i can get them off one way or another, but i would like some input on what kind of clips people have used with good results. The only way im comfortable attaching these is using a blind bolt through the wood into the fiberglass and bolted from the backside. Im worried with clips of kids being able to pull them off. Im also toying with using screws but i dont like the force being applied only to where the screw is pulling at the hole location, i like a backing plate/large washer to ditribute the force across the fiberglass.You can see in the pic the large factory holes where the interior was bolted through. Very nice installation, just no access.
