Hi, I am new to this forum and I have been looking around for the past few days. I have a 1436 alumacraft and I wanted to add some seats. I have seen several of you who have done that by adding the plywood to the bench. This is the way that I want to add them. I just had a few questions before I attempt to install them this weekend. This is what I have purchased already.

My questions are (1) Should I use 1/2" plywood or 3/4" plywood? (2) Do I need to find stainless steel toggle bolts or are these fine? (3) What size drill bit do I use and how do I make the center hole for the pedestal base? (4) Do I just drill through the plywood and the bench seat at the same time or are the holes in the bench bigger? Any advice would be helpful. I just don't want to mess this up. Thanks.
