NO. Not possible.
For a new seat...Cut an access hole in the center of where the pedestal will be. thru the hole, glue some backing strips under where the pedestal base holes will be. Then the pedestal covers the hole.
Actually the original pedestals had threaded insert underneath... they cut the hole as I said before then drilled the hole pattern and held the inserts thru the hole, tightened bolts to pull inserts into bottom of deck then removed bolts and mount the base. I hope you can follow that ramble...
Or mount a 100 qt cooler there with a cushion....
