old bolts-bow knee to fwd of engine

Though the 1" keel/ballast bolts were replaced about 13 years ago, they had wasted away to 5/8". Five of the 7 have been replaced so far. The bolts were made of 1" 304 SS w/1" of threads on the bottom & 1+1/2" on top. The other bolts were replaced using 1" galvanized or, in the case of the longer ones, 1" galvanized threaded rod. There's 2 3' threaded rods to replace the bolts in the false keel. The strap floors wrer attached with SS 3/8" lags and floors not thru' bolted were fastened with 1/2" galv. lags
