Expensive little things, but I did get better pricing by contacting a company representative instead of ordering directly from the web page.
Another thing to mark off the checklist - next comes the Upper Folding Struts?

igus bushings
Today I received all the igus bushings (plus a few spares) that are required for the boat build.

Beam Outer End Bolts
Massive 316 Stainless Steel bolts 1" x 6.5" (25mm x 165mm) for the Beam Ends arrived today.
I ordered them a little longer than the plans showed because I wanted the thicker Mil-Spec nuts to be fully engaged. I also ordered some additional nuts and washers for the other inner beam bolts (plus a spare set for whenever it inevitably falls into the water).
I still have to get the eight (the Materials List call for four, but the plans seem to show eight) 3" (75mm) partially threaded bolts for the inner beam lock down.
McMaster didn't have those, so I'll have to order from another source at a later time.
