Duck, I have a 2006 G3 Eagle 185...... I am going to be adding two bases to the front pretty soon. I plan on putting them in line with the one that is already up there. I would think that if the center is strong enough that directly to the sides of that would be stong enough also. I will take the liners out of my storage compartments before I do it so I can take a look to be sure. Then if everything looks ok...I will use bolts and nuts and washers to mount my bases instead of screws.
