I recently purchased a mirrocraft, I believe an 84, with the seats removed. Is there a way to go about adding the benches back in. The HIN is Mrr06181m73j-84 or Mrr06181m78j-84. It's hard to read the stamped numbers on the transom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'm actually looking to put the benches back in with aluminum brackets made of 6061 angle and composite deck material for the actual bench. I'm just having issues with how long to make the boards as I can't find any specs on the boat.
 
I am assuming that there was bench seats in the boat originally therefore, there are probably some mounting holes in the hull for the brackets (may be filled with blank rivets?). That is where I would reinstall the new brackets, using angle like you said. then you simply measure the distance between the hull on top of the bracket. Width is your call maybe 10 or 12 inches. I would not use composite material since it has virtually no structural rigidity or stiffness to it and it will sag like crazy. I would either use a solid board or 3/4" plywood. The wood will need to be completely sealed of course.
 
Thank you for all the info. There are no holes as the previous owner welded them. But thank you again.
 
Even better, now you have a blank slate and can do what ever you want, I would think that you can see where the original seats were mounted, even if the holes were welded closed.
 
Found a couple of before photos. In progress more to come.
