Depends on whether you want it permanent or not. I had a 97 PII that I ordered the deck extension from the factory. It was pretty neat set up, so when I built my deck extension for my 96 Eyra recently, I borrowed the BC idea.Bought two battery straps and cut them down, though you can use other nylon straps, like a dog leash type. Took some stainless steel snaps/caps. Attached the strap on the underside of the deck toward the lip of the deck extension and measured a length of strap down to where the carpet comes up the side of the Bass Cat edging. Drilled a receiver snap at the base of the front deck carpet rise. Also placed one snap at the carpet edging at the floor/console rise.Two straps in front, one by the console.Easily removeable when you need it. Permanent when you want it….96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
