Attachments, aluminum powder coated hull

Rigging up my new Zodiac RIB.... Aluminum powder coated hull, single layer. Trying to figure out the best way to mount to the floor, battery box and fuel tank tie downs. I dont want to through bolt given the single layer of hull. I am wondering what others have done and if this talk of 3M adhesive is withstanding enough to actually work? I want to move the battery and fuel to about the mid point of the boat fyi, under the fwd seat.

Thanks all.

Thru bolt with a backer plate underneath. Other than welding, nothing will be stronger. Do use a sealer like 5200 around all penetrations.

I agree. For sure the best way to fasten it without ever having to be concerned. Will likely go that route unless there is some magical answer someone has that I’ve never heard of. Thanks for the reply

Take a look at this video by The Gurnard around 6' 15"
If it works for The Gurnard I'm sure it'll work for you.
