AHHHHH, I see. We are a dying breed in these parts. The v21's are quite outnumbered to be sure! I will keep moving forward in my quest, I will feel a great sense of relief/accomplishment the first time I slide that lounge seat forward to put a bluefish in that holder and I will not rest until I figure out how it's done!

If Baby's stretched out over the fish-box, then you can't put the top up either...turn a chaise-lounge 90* across the sliding cuddy-hatch lid on the forward deck...she's got lots of sun up there and you got the rest of the boat to troll around and put fish in that box...I'm like Blue Runner...put another Capt's Chair there...

I agree with both of you guys, it would definitely be easier and probably more user efficient to bolt a captains chair up there and be done with it. The only problem is that for some reason that I can't explain I'm HELL BENT on figuring out this lounge seat. I really want to get this thing back to factory original and this one has me stumped. There has to be someone out there that has (or at least has pictures of) the original hardware for the lounge seat so I can see how it worked. At some point I'm going to have to just begin the fabrication process without any guides or specs. Before this I figured I'd try my luck on this site.

Good luck w/that...hope you find out...I'm havin a hard time figuring out why Wellcraft would make a back-to-back seat that covers up a tank like that...

It's the strangest thing isn't it? I'm sure there was some mechanism that allowed it to slide toward both bow for the fish hold and stern to recline. I believe that the recline even had an option to lay your head at 45 degrees, and I will try to incorporate this into the design as well. I'm going to my father's shop on Monday to talk to a few of the mechanics and see of we can't come up with something.

Great find Blue! Looks like it just has tracks and slides forward toward the bow to access the fish box. Looks more like it would be better for cooler use though than a fish box.
