Both trusses screwed into the ceiling and with all their hardware and pulleys installed. I used 3" long 1/4" lag screws to screw the 2x4s on to the truss - for each pulley, four screws. The pulleys are 1/4" eye bolts with the tail of the eye cut off (so the pulley would fit on), then bolted to the other side with a fender washer and two cross-tightened nuts. I centered the pulleys between the ceiling joists to evenly distribute the weight. The outer bolts on the front truss have only a single nut on the back. (but they aren't going to be used for boat hanging.)
