seat base box
 

My V20 which I inherited from my Dad will be coming out of the shop soon with a brand new 4.3 liter v6 Mercruiser 190 h.p. I am excited to get her out after a fairly long period of dormancy. I need to replace the port side back to back lounge seat--the wood has rotted out. I would love to replace it with a seat mounted on a fiberglass or king/star board box. I have seen seats from Springfield Group called flip backs that I really like. I have searched the net to find a box like I want to no avail. I have a similar one on my Formula with the helm seat on the front and the back has a hatch to access the enormous amount of storage in the box. Any ideas on where to find such a seat base would be appreciated.

there have been a million guys ask where to find one of those (including me) and no one can for a decent price.

So good luck and if you find one please let us know. ;)

Re: seat base box
 

You know what? It just dawned on me. I am selling my Formula, so I am going to remove the box from it, put in a nice pedestal helm seat, and put the box in the V20 with a flip back seat so people can face aft!

See just need to think a bit!!

Re: seat base box

Re: seat base box

That is hammers seat box that came with the boat. Don't know who, what or where.
There's a little better picture but I can't remember where it is.

Re: seat base box
 

I'm always on the look out for a second one.

Re: seat base box
 

if hammer would send it to me i'd pop a mold off it. i was going to pop one off my Sea Ray seat boxes but they are way to wide,

Re: seat base box
 

Somebody take Hammers seat box off while he's not looking when yall are there and send it to Skool's.

I'll go over there after the mold is made and we will go into full production.

Seat boxes all around!!!!! ;D

Re: seat base box
 

;D If ya can pull all the 5200 off, she's all yours. ;D

Re: seat base box
 

Thats easy!! They make a 5200 remover!! But who cares just rip it out its not our boat! ;) ;D

Re: seat base box
 

What would y'all think of using something like these. they are designed to sit on. It might be cool to cut the lid in 1/2 so the back portion could open up and provide access to the storage. I'm thinking though that cutting lid in 1/2 would significantly weaken the lid. Oh jeez--i'm terrible at copying stuff. Go see www.dockbox.com

Re: seat base box
 

that might work, could add a support in the center, or mout the box with hinge in middle of the boat, now when you open it the seats will open to starboard side.

I am thinking now!!may be just throw the cover away and mount upside down!

Re: seat base box
 

nipper, I looked at those back when...and I think they could be made to work ;) ...

Re: seat base box
 

I am really liking the idea of taking off the lid and mounting it upside down. Things might get wet in there, but I wouldn't be putting anything in there which just had to be dry anyway. Thanks for your help guys.

Re: seat base box
 

MJ's upsidedown idea is good, you could cut out access openings and put elevated bottoms in to keep things dry ;) ...

Re: seat base box
 

Put a couple of hatch covers and add a pallet made by you for the inside to keep stuff off the floor.

Now I am thinking??

Re: seat base box
 

Mighta just developed seat boxes for all these guys wantin' 'em...hatch covers, great idea!!...might even be able to strike a deal w/ the mfgr and get boxes w/no lids ;) ...

Re: seat base box
 

Here's a good seat for back of V-boat
