Seats in my 16' canoe...help!

Hello--

 

I'm nearly done with my Sassafras-style canoe, but I'm at a bit of a roadblock with respect to hanging the seats. The four holes for hanging each seat via carriage bolts & wooden spacers do no exactly line up with the holes in the rails. When I was planning and researching the design, I recall reading on the internet that the bolts will need to be bent on a vise in order to compensate for the fact that the curving planks will not allow for a perfectly straight 5" carriage bolt, though now that I'm ready to delve into the specifics, I cannot find any reference to or mention of this at all. Would anyone who has tackled this issue care to be so kind as to share the wisdom here...? Thank you in advance!
