    Attatching two halves

    So ive been working on my new boat and I finally asked myself. How am i gonna attatch the two halves? I dont want to use velcro or just crew it in from the top. Infact I dont want to be able to tell how I have the 2 pieces together except from viewing directly underneath. Anysuggestions or pictures showing how you fellow managed?

          In the photo below, the two dark squares at the bow and stern of the lower half are two rare earth ceramic magnets.

          in the mirror location on the upper hull are two identical ceramic magnets glued in place so that the four magnets touch and lock the upper hull to the lower hull.
