Hey it's Miami Mike, not seen much of you lately ?
How have you been ?

Rich

Been doing so many trade shows, I am still here....

Right on! Apparently I've seen Z clips before. I always called them Whojack-a-pivies. I found them on a carver a while back. Before that I thought I invented them when I had to hang a head board. They wouldn't really work on pads with 1/2" or 1/4" foam though. Thats predominantly the kind of pads I do.

Those monarch kind seem cool, but ya, whats the gap between the pad and the boat? And it wouldn't really draw the pad in/ squish the welt would it. I see there being gaps. I was looking at the Miami Mike ones from that other thread, they seem jazzy. And spendy. On their site they show them peppered on the panel. I wonder what 8 dozen cost?

I like that one Mike! The key hole slot thing, nice! I'll remember that one. Nice and low tech.

I'm a nut and bolt guy. If I can get my arm to the bolts I'll drill holes through the pad and the boat before I take the pad off. Then I like to use carriage bolts through the good side with a nut on the bad side. Stole that one from Searay. I like it more than the Tnut on the bad side stove bolt on the good side since it's smoother under the upholstery.

Everyone help yourself to some respect and admiration, helps patch leaky egos.

Peppy we were doing a  cat deck boat awhile back and my brother had craweled. Down under rhe forward seats tonreach up and undo the nuts holding the backrests
on ( a hard feat being 6'7"  ) well he was reaching upblindly removing the nut and pit his hand on a hornets nest. I about laughed to death seeing hi
try to get out when they started  flying about.

I've had that happen to me too. Reach up under a pad and feel something move and see hornets drop out. Yikes! Nice thing about winter is I find way more dead hives than live ones.

Ever hear of cluster flies? Like house flies but they clump together to survive the winter. Like snakes I guess. Well I was taking a camper top off the frame and was undoing the zipper pockets and heaps of flies started falling out. It has early spring and I figured they were all dead. There were so many they were falling down my shirt and in my hair. Well with the heat of my breath and body they started coming alive, wriggling and buzzing in my shirt and ears *!!glugulrlruhhh!!* Disgusting. The guy I was working with started calling me a sissy and laughing at me 'cause I was screaming like a little girl. So it soon became his turn to get in and start screaming like a girl. Totally one of the creepiest, grossest bugs. Which is funny cause their just house flies, but when you put 100,000 of them in a boat top *!!glugulrlruhhh!!*

Ever heard of them rhen a few months ago we were putting a mooring cover o a triumph center console the boat was on a lift raised up to clip some straps
under the hull right to left and he was sitting on The dock reaching under with a hook to pull the strap
u derand wrapedaround the cable pole above is head a snake fell off the lift and hit him on the neck falling.  Girly  time again. Lol.
