Just like you to complicate things. 
Here’s how I would do it.
First head out to home depot to buy drill bits for the Roto-zip. Stop and pick up a few handles of Captain Morgan, 1 bottle JD, 1 bottle grey goose, and 6 red bulls. (don’t forget ice)
Fill a pitcher full of red bull / vodka, and another full or Capt. / Coke..
Have a couple Captain and cokes.
Measure where you need to cut.
Drink some of the Redbull / Vodka to keep steady and focused
Have some more Captain because you don’t want to lose the buzz.
Remeasure because at this point you have decided to move the speakers to a different location.
Why not have another……
With masking tape, cover everything because you are going to make one hell of a mess.
Cut a hole in the plastic because you realize you needed a way to get out. And you left the drinks out side the boat.
Have another, and another just in case…
At this point……. Put the cover back on the boat and have the wife go to the store because you will be out of cocktails.
Then call a fiberglass specialist and enjoy the evening.
Let me know how it comes out.

I'm have a few projects I'm in the midst of and have come to the hard part.....cutting out a section of fiberglass, it's on interior peices. Nothing to do with the structural integrity of the boat. Just adding some upgrades.
The question is, What is the best way to cut fiberglass clean and straight? Jigsaw (type of blade?), rotozip? I know you can give the best advice Pat, what do you got?

Now If you were to come over to help I'd have to take out a rider on my health insurance and my homeowners insurance to take care of the injurys you would incur.
