See pictures below:
One thing that applies to the Sovran and its molded platform that likely won't matter on the open. On the sovran since I was drilling through the swim platform (wood glass etc), I drilled larger wholes than I needed and filled with west six10. I then drilled the bolt holes through the epoxy thus never allowing the core to be exposed to moisture if the bolts act as a moisture wick.
We have had the boat in a variety of seas from Large following to beam to substantial head seas and have not had a problem. The only thing I'm careful about is not to come off plane too fast as the water will come up under the tender.
Let me know if you have any questions.
