[QUOTE="Brine, post: 76367, member: 1053"] I took the foam out. The foam in my seats didn't go to the floor (about 6" tall if I remember), so there was access to the carraige bolts from underneath after I removed it. The foam did't provide me any support or floatation, but I pieced it back in after I had installed the bolts anyway. Also, I've learned on this site that treated wood and aluminum don't play nice together. Fortunately, my boat had a couple coats of paint on the bench seats, and the lumber had two coats of an oil based paint on it before I installed it. AFter 3 years, there is no problem with corrosion. I guess just make sure you're not putting bare pressure treated wood on top of a bare aluminum bench. Oh, and make sure to use stainless steel hardware. Post some pics when you get chance. [/QUOTE]
