[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 490175, member: 15636"] Boy that'll be a large UNsupported span! I think you'd need at least 1/8" thick 1-1/2" leg, maybe 2" leg, angle aluminum, tied into same mounts affixed to the sides of the hull. If there's a Grainger near you, I've gotten some aluminum from them before for reasonable prices, no shipping charges either. ... have a feeling that too would flex too though ... If you look at the stock seat, the vertical seat projection going down towards the floor serves as a 'truss' to prevent the top panel from flexing. You could always tie in 2x4s (non-pressure treated) captured in the 'L' or angle tin to help support the span. This is what I'd consider to do at a minimum ...
