...and besides trying to figure out where I'm going to stow it, I could use some suggestions of how to attach netting for the grass. I've seen a few pics on here with poultry netting attached to Steve S', but it didn't explain how it attached to the boat. Are y'all drilling holes in the boat to zip tie the netting? Thanks.
 
Larry,

I think someone posted where they used the little bimini top tie down loops, looks like a tiny little grab handle with a screw at each end. Maybe they will post it up. Do you have anything to clip spring clips onto to hold it on?

The hardware parts are called footmen loops. You can get them at any boating store and some hardware stores. I put several on my Fatboy and zip tied snow fence to the deck. I secured the footmen with SS bolts, washers, and lock-nuts. Any holes close to the water line received a glob of sealant. Here's two pics of my FB without camo. I hope it helps.

In the marine business those pictures up above of the the tie down loops are called pad eyes. You can find them at any marine parts store or at any place that sells kayaks.

On my boats I sued small plastic deer fencing and then cable tied the raffia to the deer fencing. There are mnay ways to do this,

Larry, check your PM. Also, if you need me to send you some footman loops, just let me know.
