It depends if you like and trust the seller's broker. They are working for the seller, and you need to make sure they have your best interest at heart, too. Typically the seller pays the broker 10% commission, and it's split 50-50 between the buyer's and seller's brokers, so the seller is...

Can you get to the back side? If so I would through bolt with machine screws. Heads should match the others. Otherwise fill with thickened epoxy and re-drill.

Nice job, glad you got it!

O a 2012 21SE I ran two 16/2 round twisted pair cables from the console to the fuel fill for speaker wires. Removed the black tophat rigging grommet in the console and used a fish tape to reach the deck plate forward over the fuel tank fill connection. Lots of open space under the deck, no...

My 21SE had a similar fitting for the livewell drain which was below the waterline. I removed and installed a seacock in its place as I want the ability to close it. I know this doesn't answer your question but something to think about.

I'd look into a lift-up style snap. https://www.sailrite.com/Loxx-Pull-It-Up-Fastener-Cloth-to-Surface-Screw-Stud-Set https://www.sailrite.com/Loxx-Pull-It-Up-Fastener-Cloth-to-Surface-Oval-Plate-Stud-Set

Those brackets appear stock- that's how they built the boat. You could lay up new ones or have a local glass guy make a couple for you. McMaster Carr has some fiberglass angle that might work. https://www.mcmaster.com/8542K36/

Yours look threaded. Both types are available.

Try this. Many of those push buttons were made by Cole Hersee (now owned by Littlefuse) or knockoffs. https://www.littelfuse.com/products/switches/momentary-switches/rubber-caps-for-push_button-switches.aspx

I found a plastic battery box that the oil tank fit in, then cut it down as needed to make my own "bracket".

I tried to find it again and could not. It was copied and shared a couple times and I couldn't get back to the original.

I just saw a link to one on facebook, I it's in the 'gulf coast new and used boats for sale' group. Maybe a 2000? This one too https://houston.craigslist.org/boa/d/deer-park-2006-parker-big-bay/7468078511.html

Clean/change the VST filter in the tank. Get a new o-ring gasket as the old one is hard to get back in. Also clean the oxygen sensor and dogbone. It helps with the idle. How are your fuel lines? Make sure they're not deteriorating or collapsing.
