Another option to threaded inserts for the bulkhead screws is
toggle bolts. Although I've bought some from WM that had plastic zip ties running thru a plastic washer that help hold the toggle in place after you insert it, I'd still put a little epoxy on the toggles before installing them to insure they remain stuck to the back side of the fiberglass if you ever have to remove the screws.

As always Bushwacker's advice is pretty sound. I would suggest doing a trial or two on a piece of scrap material if you attempting to use the WM toggle bolts with the plastic zip tie wings. I did and I was not satisfied enough with the results for an absolute solid anchor for my barefoot boom.- sorry, can't remember why. Maybe some epoxy as Bushwacker suggests to glue them might have helped. Thought they a little pricey too, but would have used them if I liked them.
My '76 20' Seafari has the aluminized sticker under the helm like yours, but my bulkheads are fiberglass, so yours must be a little earlier model.
