How many people usually on your boat? I would do like RAP suggested, add another capt.'s chair to the port side, it will increase your cockpit size! Portables when you need more seating, but that's me........whatever floats YOUR boat ;)

I gotta vote for at least 1 "back-to- back" in the boat. Without that, where ya gonna let the super-models lay down and get some sun !!!!! Thats part of boating too :)

I'm with MJ Tin and RAP. Lose the back to backs and go with cap. chairs on port and starboard. You got a bigger boat (= more seating) for cruising! Keep the V20 setup for fishing! JMO

By the way, I love the ladder back Todd chair you have at your helm - I wouldn't change a thing there - but if you decide to get rid of it, how about shipping it down here to NC ;D

i don't do much fishing when ever i go boating i usally have five to seven people onboard and when i fish i take the big one when ever i fish i can be gone for two or more days and there are more comforts of home on the big one ( tv A/C heat stove etc) thats why i have two. so i need more seats not fishing room. but what if a bought another todd chair for the port side would you reccommend that better thatn thw twin bact to back seats.
thanks.

where you've indicated repositioning the capt's chair...is that the fuel tank hatch?...if so, be SURE fasteners don't contact that tank *;) ...

i have those on my big boat to i love them that might work because your right that is the fuel hatch and it is not even one inch of mounting room.

I'd match that ladder-back on the port side and get a pair of folders...or just pull the ones ya got outta the big boat ;) ...

i have noticed that some of these guys have baitwell/storage boxes made from fiberglass that thier seats mount to. kinda like the v21 but, screwed in, not molded. i realy like that idea but, i have not been able to find anyplace that sells them.

Yea Tin, only problem is they are hard to come by.

In case you haven't seen it, here it is again. I picked it up for $50 from member TMcGovern (thanks buddy ;)).

Has a welded stainless steel frame - that was worth the $50 to me. I fashioned it so I could take it out if I want. Kinda cool cause you can sit it on the dock and have instant dock seating too! Then put back in the boat and motor away for a cruise!
