Yeah, those props...lol
Is that metal edging on the gunwale cap? I wonder if PO added it, Never seen it before on an LRC.

The countersinking is pretty quick. setting and trimming the teak plugs takes a little more time. I bought a cheap high speed drill, 3/8" countersink and cordless drill/driver from Harbor Freight for the boat and they work great for that purpose. So many exposed screws holding trim on these boats. Especially good for lifting the rail stanchions to oil the railing under them and anything else around water. My Dewalt tools go nowhere near the boat, ever.
