Mounting a Pedestal!

[BCLII]

Whats the best way to mount a pedestal on the floor of my 205. I removed the port sleeper, which had 6 factory installed #8 SS sheet metal screws holding it in place. Those are all epoxy filled and gel coated. We have a matching deluxe I seat we are installing. There is NO access under the port side floor. Should I use 5 #14 SS sheet metal screws? or drill a 13/64" hole and tap for 1/4x20 bolt and thread that into the floor? The latter I was told works best in fiberglass vs the sheet metal screw splintering the glass!
thanks,
Byron

How about stainless steel toggles?

Yea, thought about the toggle bolts, but that would require 5 - 1/2" holes. Not sure if I want to do that know or later if/when the screws or bolts didn't hold up!
