I learned a valuable lesson today and wanted to share with all of you guys. If you are going to use Toggler bolts for mounting your seats do not I repeat do not put noodles directly under where you are going to mount your seats! When my buddy and I drilled the holes for the Togglers and pushed then through they could not open up due to being squished up against all the noodles under the deck. We had to drill a round hole in the center of the mounting plate and holes to dig out enough noodles to allow them to spring open. What a pain, so I hope that this may save someone else the same grief that I went through. Here is a pic of my only solution to this self inflicted Homer Simpson Doh!

Yes it looks like that is what you planned all along.

I hate to say this, especially since you went through all that work, but NEXT time apply heat with a torch to your toggle bolts. Slide them in the holes quickly and they will melt the foam and open up. OK, now you can shoot me.:eek: Dale
