[QUOTE="davethomasowns, post: 144453, member: 3449"] Thanks for the advice. I took out the existing benches, purchased some lumber and made new ones. They seem much sturdier. I raised them higher up and then decided to just mount the swivel seat to the benches and leave out the pedestal. Now I have one more question; I am going to somehow close these benches in so I can put foam inside. At Lowes today I asked what type of foam I need. He walked outside with me where a semi-truck was dropping stuff off and asked for some foam. I got 12 of these blocks for free: [img]https://img819.imageshack.us/img819/7205/box2.jpg[/img] Will these get the job done? I was thinking about cutting them to size and placing them under the bench seat. Will these absorb water and if so, is there anything I can spray on them to help? More importantly, how do I calculate how much I need to put in the boat? Willing filling the two bench seats be enough? Thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
