Captain's Chair project

I'd also posted here looking for advice on re-securing the base of the captain's chair to the deck.  I bought some toggle bolts, but decided instead to go with 2 inch lag bolts.  Did a test drill on the deck to ensure there was wood under the fiberglass, then rotated the base about ten degrees, and pre-drilled for the bolts.  Also used marine caulking to fill the old holes and the new holes.  Seems pretty sturdy.  Time will tell.  Plan B will be to cut out a small square hatch, forward of the base, and use bolts and nuts.  

Thanks again for the advice.
