[QUOTE="cdhanlon27, post: 340765, member: 13387"] Hey everyone ... first time posting to this forum, needing some advice. Been searching around the forums, but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. So hopefully someone here will have the expertise. I have a 1648 jon boat with side console - I want to mount a boat seat behind the console (see picture below where I want to mount it). As you can see, it currently just has the aluminum split seating in the back of the boat. So my question is what/how would be the best way to install a boat seat here on the aluminum seat? I thought about a plywood/carpet platform for the back, but am a little worried about weighing down the back too much. So I'm leaning towards just installing a seat mount to the aluminum .... but I don't want to just screw down a mount since the aluminum seems kinda flimsy & I'm thinking it would rip out over time. But I also don't have access to the bottom to be able to bolt it down. So suggestions? Thanks. [ATTACH type="full" alt="photo.JPG"]60172._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
