[QUOTE="BIDZ, post: 379044, member: 17237"] I just ran 6 sheetmetal screw through the deck and into the seat below. I would've liked to bolt them in, but the floatation under the seats made that a little more difficult. However, running the 6 screws through the base, 3/4" plywood, and top metal of the seat seems to have a pretty good hold on the base. I can sit in the seat and lean in all directions and there are no signs of flexing at all. I'm thinking about adding another base in the middle bench seat, but am hesitant since I would just be screwing into the metal with no wood to give the extra support. [/QUOTE]
