[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 402532, member: 11276"] Depending on how you are doing it sometime you are limited as to where you can place the seats. In the case of the Sea Nymph that I'm currently working on I am using wedge pedestal seat bases that protrude thru the plywood decking and require a 4.5" hole. The hull of this boat has a rib/bulkhead that falls just in line with where I would have liked to place it so I had to move it forward more than I would have liked. Moving it back would have been too far aft for me. The next issue was the length of the pedestal. All I can find online these days are pedestals that are 11" or 13" long. These are to long and the seat bottom is too high. I just happened to have 2 pedestals from another boat that are only 9" and they fit much better but still not perfect. So in this instance while I'm rebuilding this I am going to move the steering console forward 1" and raise it 2" and it should be about perfect. So I hope this helps and doesn't confuse the question more. [/QUOTE]
