Can you mount a swivel seat on the middle bench with the livewell there, or haven't you figured out a way yet?
Thanks for that. When I'm underway my passengers like to sit on the middle seat, but sit up front while fishing...but in case I fish with 3, I'd like to have one there.Jay415 said:I could, but it wouldn't get used. I'm gonna put one towards the stern and then I'll have the one on the bow. More like a bass boat.
gillhunter mounted a swivel seat on the livewell lid, but he used his for the battery compartment. He mounted it with a bracket that you can slide on and off.

KevinWI said:Your build has me pumped. Just ordered Henry 263 online...(wasn't a store within 100 miles of me that carried it after talking to rep). bought 3 quart cans....should be enough hopefully. Also ordered 1/2 gal of polyester resin w/catalyst for waterproofing from a surfboard supply store. Know you used spar urathane, but I used that on the wood window sill in my shower area and it just blistered up and peeled away after a couple years. Soon as the livewell is fabbed, I'll start.
I added about 400lbs total. With the batteries and motor and full tank of gas.hotshotinn said:I am wondering about how much weight was added with the wood front deck and wood floor?What thickness of ply wood you used for the flooring?Does the seat feel to be strong with it mounted to the floor in back?I has a 1648 Alumicraft but a squared nose that needs to be done up,this is why I am asking.Nice job you did on your boat

Thanks! The mount needs 2 3/8" depth minus the thickness on the mounting surface. Mine sits in the middle of the rail indentation in the hull which is about 2 1/2" I just made it! :lol:JMichael said:Jay, how much clearance is needed for the rear pedestal mount. From the top of the ply down, what would be the minimum needed? Also, do you have a link for those mounts?
Build is looking great.
