I'm in view of Fay's, so I'll probably hear you!
One hint, get a GOOD snap crimp tool, one similar to this one:

Or rent one.
The lesser types that you see in hardware shops, home depot, or even west marine won't do the job.
A boat neighbor went through two or three of the cheaper ones before borrowing a proper tool to finish his self install snap in job.
A tool similar to this one seemed to be junk and won't do the job:

By the time you put enough pressure on it (it wasn't always possible) the tool would bend, and the crimps would often be less than satisfactory.
