Seats???

[Stinky_Hooker]

I am fully against a standard pedestal/seat combo because I think its a waste of space. Well, maybe not a waste, but not OPTIMIZED use of the area. I am still hellbent on building the alumnum single leaning posts with underseat storage. I will make a "receptacle" in the rear of each one for a 150 quart to slide in.

However, I noticed these in a 28 coastal on Ebay:


What do yall think of making something like this but of course on a smaller scale. Maybe a starboard tackle box in one and something else or even another box in the other one? What kinda material? Maybe wood construction covered in vinyl? that would get torn though and be suseptable to water/mildew...thats no good. :P


Of course I just thought of why not....where would the ice chests go? ::)


yeah, if yall cant tell I am getting in gear to work on the boat. ;D Deer season is closing after this weekend and its hot as piss around here. Time to work on the baby some. I am enclosing the transom currently...I will take progress pics. 8)

I like the idea, only one side I would do as a tackle station with drawers and a bait table on top and the other side would be a livewell. Vinyl over wood wouldn't last too long I don't think. Glass over wood would be the way to go but a lot harder to do.


Maybe you can get some ideas here:

Stinky this is a very sore subject around here, super model seating prototypes were supposed to be done by somebody for me to buy this winter. Somebody ::) somebody ::) can't remember who was going to do it for a winter project. I think the latest story is he was preparing to blow a train tressle or something and could not get to it ;D

TinMan, that is NICE!! I think I might try and tackle, pun intended, a couple of those. I built a center console and glassed the whole thing for a buddy and it turned out really nice. I bet I could do that no problem! Ill have a starboard door on it too! ;D

After all, I got nothin but time!!! ::)

What shall I put in the other side though? My livewells will be in the full transom and IMO that is to far forward midship to have a livewell and not get soaked driving/riding.


Taking ideas this jedi is....... 8)

How about a built-in cooler or just dry storage. Or just a seat and stanchion and mount a removable cooler right behind the seat???
