I researched this, and it was actually a Southco product (the screw) as well. the problem was that the distributors don't have a listing for them in the correct dimensions, only shorter ones. I went back and forth with the distributor trying to find out if they were available from the factory, or if a batch could be made (for all of us). I was eventually told to pick something from what was available, and then no replies or response at all, so I gave up. I think this should be a good alternative, as I've mentioned in another thread, Shrom is a good guy and won't jerk anyone around, and will make sure the quality is good. he knows how much we all love these boats and how detail oriented some of us are, as he is too. I know I'll be getting a set for the Intimidator while they're available.
