Thread: Mounting seat bases

Dang that's close quarters tiger, must be nice to be young and skinny..my big butt be taking a swim the first fish on Like the setup tiger, mounted my single 4 pole holder out on the bow to get the poles away from the boat, now sitting in single pedestal mounted seat I find myself sitting on the edge of seat to set the hook, great when they biting, but bad waiting for a an hour or so.. them bases on them chairs pretty sturdy?

your deck looks a lot like mine and Alumacraft told me not to do it. Not enough bracing to support extra bases. If you can reach under and install a plate bigger than the seat base you might be ok. Hate to find out the hard way and tear up the deck and crash to the bottom of boat.

Spose I could, it's just about single pole fishing time for ole snubbs next couple,three months , offset my arm no problem... seats are in the works.. EZ need to call on my checklist.. thanks eagle, I would like your post if I could

Thanks G... Hey works the old fashioned way too....

Just keep using the Wise portable seat stands, I use them occasionally on some of my boats. They work good for what they are. You mounted your Spyderlocks to far forward for pedestals seats anyhow .

Man I'd be worried about falling into or out of the boat off those single seats! I have the same kind but in a double seat and the other day my dad and I were fishing and he stood up to swing a fish in and I leaned back to get out of the way and I fell off the deck into the bottom of the boat.
