I needed to tie down my two folding kayaks under the saloon table on my IP27. I used eye straps attached to the bulkhead and the base of the settee with #10 machine screws and backing plates, but I did not want to drill into the sole. Instead, I rigged a hard point through the bilge grid. While this would not work for heavy equipment, it should be fine for the kayaks (less than 60 lbs. total for both). See captions for details, showing one of the kayaks tied down.
