I through-bolted my hull to deck joint with ss bolts and nylock nuts; when doing this I purposely used bolts about 1" to 1.5" longer than necessary so that I could attach the ss/rubber lined wire hangers from them. I through-bolted every 6 inches, so have plenty of attachment points all the way down the port and starboard sides. A royal pain to do for sure but has proven to be a good decision.
