I'm no expert but what I have been doing and am doing is; using spray adhesive and a stapler to staple the carpet to the plywood pieces that will be sitting on top of the benches. I will be using larger bolts and nuts to secure the corners. I am doing my best to not screw into my boat hull. I...

Okay not too much so far but I have the 2 benches covered and have the metal in place where I will have a compartment or Livewell. My tackle box fits now but I am shooting for a livewell. The white pole holder I haven't screwed in yet but am thinking about installing it about where it's at now...
