[QUOTE="sbm2240, post: 203560, member: 5698"] For some reason my last pictures didn't post, but these should work. I decided on the type of pedestals to install. Due to the fact that I wanted to keep the center of gravity low and that not one of my fishing buddies is under 230lbs, I wanted something permenant and strong. I went with 7" permenant pedestals with top swivels installed. The down side will be that I cannot remove the seats, the plus side is the permenant install should give me no worries of the seat popping off and losing someone off the boat! I used 1/4" toggle 3" bolts for the install. I put the four in for the pedestal and another bolt on each side securing the carpeted plywood. As you can see I've only intalled the front seat due to time constraints. I'll get the rear seat installed this weekend. I'm very happy with how it came out and how secure they feel (as if part of the boat itself). Upcoming projects this weekend: Install rear pedestal seat Install Bilge Pump Move battery into front storage deck for weight transfer Install a panel switch to run lights, bilge and future depth finder Here are the pictures of the front pedestal install...
