Peter Velcro seat attachment: I have used good old WEST epoxy to stick two wide strips of Velcro to the cockpit sole of my fibreglass kayak. They stayed there solidly for five years. When I sold the kayak, I chipped them out and sanded it down without much trouble. I had sewed up a flat bag - to hold the heavy part of my wheelset under my thighs. I only used it when on week+ trips, when space was at a premium and it kept the weight down low. I wanted it to stay in place when upside down. It worked very well. I believe that some of the builders' goop (in those big cardboard tubes - used for drywall/gib installation) has good life in a marine environment. Friends use it for customising cockpits with closed-cell foam. I think it has more inherent flexibility than epoxy and is cheaper if you don't have the epoxy sitting on the shelf.
