i started this project last year and finally finished it three weeks ago.it took alot of sanding and painting but she turned out pretty nice. i tried her out two weeks ago with a 3 horse yamaha and she did great.
i used zinc sulfide for the primer then i used good ole rustoleum with a thinner so it would not bubble up. it took about 4 coats. i am looking for a 16ft wide bottom also to mod
That is why I got the adjustable version of those seat posts and mounted them in front of the benches. However this requires decking in the bottom of the boat.
I think that your best bet would be to do away with the posts and mount the seats directly on the benches. or maybe on some sort of small blocking build up so you can get between the seat and the bench to mount a swivel. Raise the seat maybe 3" or 4" off of the top of top of the bench.
Make sense??
i still like the practicality of the little jon boat.
Just wondering. How wide is it at the bottom on the inside??
