Jeremy,

Swampy and Joe pretty much summed it up. I used a web strap with a buckle and just looped it around the inside frame rail and pontoons then to the outside rail. It's kind of a pain to adjust but since I keep my boat in one piece and inflated all the time it works great. If I was going to break the boat down I would do something like Joe suggests and sew the straps to the frame so it would be easier to get everything put back together.

I padded my pontoon/frame with some thin strips of foam but it wasn't needed.

You will notice a big difference with the OE pontoons vs. the stock ones.
