Hey help us out a bit,

Wood floor?

If so Home Depot sells Stainless Spring Wing anchors! If you are able to use 1/4 20 bolts you will have to drill the holes abit bigger but they work realllly well. I use them to mount my center console and they make for a really stable platform. The only problem is you are going to have to make sure you have enough clearence under the floor to push the whole works 1 1/4 in and then tighten? Hope this helped

I think he was refering to the core of the deck. It's more than likely plywood or balsa core. Both can rot and then they won't hold screws.

Hummm I have seen the mounts that require a 3" hole I think and you can start the under ring from up top....I just don't remember who makes them.....Let me reseach it...I am at work and it is reallllly slow today LOL
