Not sure if you finished rigging her out yet but when I had my 16' alweld just like yours I installed 2 small pieces of angle on the back bench seat between the transom and the seat. install it low enough that you can place a 3/4" piece of ply over the top and cut the ply just long enough that when you set it on the angle it wedges itself between the back seat angle and the transom. It gave me covered storage, and made the back platform huge for fishing. I tested mine by hanging onto a beam slightly and jumping up and down and it never budged. Here is a pic of it.
