If you have a traditional construction SOF rigging it is pretty easy since you've got multiple deck beams that you can easily loop a line around. If you have a fuselage (Yost style) SOF you'll need to either provide a rounded edge around the top of one of the frames or a pulley to rig the line. I'd just round the corners well on one of the frames at the end of the boat and loop the line around that for simplicity. It's not like you'll be pulling the bags in and out daily.
