I was also thinking that I wouldn't need to countersink the heads but today when I tried to just tighten them down the bolt snapped before the head recessed or even got flush. I am having to use a 1" Forstner bit to countersink. This would probably not be necessary if you are using standard elevator bolts and standard plywood but I used the bolts from VTS and they have an extra wide 1" head and I am using marine grade plywood which is more dense than standard.
