I want to mount some "graphite-filled copolymer" wheels to my jon boat. They have holes for bolts but I wonder if there is an alternative that does not involve drilling holes in my boat. What about liquid nail?

I just finished an axle for my jon boat that uses the 5 dollar pnuematic wheels you can get at harbor freight. I don't have any pics right now but I could put some up this weekend if you want to see what I did. I have to say it turned out better than the last setup I had that use some hard plastic push mower wheels. With my setup you put the boat on top of the axle and strap it down. I weight 165 and was jumping up and down on the axle so I am willing to bet I can load all my gack into it and wheel it to the lake. I have a couple around that have no launch. Let me know if you want to see those pics.
