: I just use plywood "eyes" to hold the bungies, that are
: epoxied under the hatch and onto the bottom of the boat. I did
: lay up extra glass under the hatches and the surrounding deck,
: they hold their shape just fine.

Oh yeah btw, it's a good idea to release the tension on the internal bungie's when the boat's being stored. It's one thing for them to resist the tension of the bungies while you're using it, something else entirely if they have to do that over a winter of inactivity. Which reminds me that I forgot to do this ;)
