Just did this on my 24 Ft Trailer. Used E track and made to measure straps from Macs Tiedowns. Used Grade 8 bolts and large washers with nylon nuts underneath. Tracks were placed for 59 inch front and rear track and minimum 108 inch wheelbase.

They make backing plates for the e track. I would not think bolts with washers would be safe through plywood alone. Backing plates and bolting through crossmembers would be best.

I would want backing plates also and nylock nuts WILL work loose. After I had a couple nylock nuts work loose from vibration on a trailer, I now only use all steel crimped locking nuts.
I bought a new 6x10 enclosed trailer to haul my Harley and had to place the rings in the floor and cut backing plates for them ..LOL The Harley and trolley might weigh 1,000 lbs, but under severe braking or a collision, it isn't going to rip loose from the floor.
