[Paddlewise] deck rigging

After looking at the different "stock" deck rigging solutions offered by
stitch-and-glue manufacturers, I'm considering borrowing a deck rigging idea
from skin-on-frame boats for my Arctic Tern:  drilling holes slightly
smaller than the shock cord diameter directly through the deck and threading
the shock cords so that they expand to fill the holes.

Has anybody tried this and want to discourage/encourage me?  Any other
ideas?  It seems like a very elegant low-profile rigging solution(nothing to
hook your clothing during re-entry), and no more holes than other eye-pad or
webbing contraptions.

For reference, I was looking at http://www.skinboats.com/finish.html

cheers,
Severn
