Seat pedestal and mount

[Jetech]

I added a front mount and pedestal to my 1436. The mount base is two 3/16" x 2" alum angles. I added two 7/8" thick treated boards cut at an angle to match the mid seat level to the alum angles using screws. Then a .050 alum sheet was screwed on to the wood pieces and the pedestal was bolted onto that.
I used eight 5/32" Cherry Max rivets to fasten the alum angles to the boat ribs. The wood pieced were coated with epoxy and painted.
The mount is 7 1/2" wide and light and strong.

Nice work, I did something similar to that on my little rig, except I forward mounted battery there. I mounted a pedestal where the original bench was. Used some scrap channel from work, the channel is 6061 aluminum used for portable tow bars for 65 million $ Gulfstream airplanes.

Nice clean battery installation, that looks great. I am going mount the battery in the rear seat with access through a hatch. haven't decided exactly how yet.

Thanks for the complements. Just finished painting the third coat on the inside. Hopefully by next weekend the bottom will be painted and the seats and lights will be installed.
