[QUOTE="davethomasowns, post: 144247, member: 3449"] Hello guys, I just purchased a cheap 14’ Aluminum Starcraft V-hull to fish from. This is my first boat and I do not know much about these things. I have a couple important questions. 1) I am not sure if the boat came with aluminum bench seats or what, but all it has right now is wood bench seats (see below.) I want to put a nice pedestal and swivel seat on each bench so I was recommended to put a piece of aluminum angle under each seat. I purchased 1/8”x1 ½” to put under each seat, does this sound sufficient? 2) More importantly, I keep hearing about floatation foam. My boat is literally an aluminum shell with two bench seats so there is no foam at all. Do all boats, jons included, have foam in them? Is this something I need to somehow add? If anybody has a solution for mounting seats and adding foam, please let me know. Thanks! [img]https://images.craigslist.org/3kb3p43ld5Y35U45R5a5ma573b787aa2b1d67.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
