I'm pretty new to this whole fix your boat thing, but the floor is not soft at all. I'm not saying you guys are wrong about the floor, but currently it shows no signs of being compromised with moisture. I really hope my floor isn't rotted, keep your fingers crossed for us!
I don't know how the base is attached to the floor. I am assuming (yeah, I know what they say about assumptions) that the base is just screwed down to the floor. That is why (assuming here again) we are able to tighten it back down. If a bolt was on the backside and vibrated loose, we would not be able to tighten the bolt as the nut would just spin in the absense of something (a wrench) holding the nut in place. I also suspect that the previous owner may have been a little hard on the seat and that is where this issue manifested itself.
Does anyone know if the seat bases on these boats are screwed to the floor or are bolted through?
