The hull only weights 23.5 kg (50 lbs), that is not a lot to hang from 2 (or 4) M8 bolts or even a typical laminate work.

Of course the same reasoning can be reversed. I rather hang 23.5 kg from the bolts and the reinforce area around the bolts then press against the (unreingorced) keel line by the same amount.

It is laminate up there, but also laminate down there. So what is the gain/loss ?
