OK, gearing up to start fixing/replacing floor in a early 70s hustler bass boat. floor was removed after captains seat, other seat would sit behind captain, cobra gunship style. delemia, do I put in the other seat, leave it open for cargo/ and or the pups?
I do go out solo more often than with another person
I do go crapping and space would be nice
I can build a removable bench seat or use low profile lawn chairs in back...
so, what all is your input?

If you are out alone a lot I would go for the extra space. I did a rebuild on my Sea Nymph a few years back and only put 2 seats in the cockpit area. That has worked out fine for me, but make sure you have some place for a passenger to sit SAFELY if you intend to take any one else out.

 

[mudslinging79]

well, factory seating was one seat behind another along the centerline. so someone in back shouldn't compromise safety if I go with a low seat. the ex wife will have a special made extra tall wobbly 3 legged bars too..... um..... forget the last part, lol.
so far the open cargo area is looking better and better

[zool]

Since you say u go out crapping a lot, you might wanna use that space for a head, just sayin

 

[mudslinging79]

um..... craBBing... stupid sausage fingers,lol

Have you considered a removable pedestal for the second seat? Then with the seat out, there would just be the mounting plate on the deck. Just a thought.

 

[mudslinging79]

is there a pedestal mount for a decent price that is removable without having a stump sticking up? I'm the one who seems to find the dresser with my pinky toe in the middle of the night... etc

 

[gm280]

mud, there are a lot of low profile pedestal bases on the market. Now decent price is subjective. But you also have to really beef up the underside to keep them solid. JMHO

 

[mudslinging79]

beefing up isn't a problem, was thinking the basic plate style, use the captured nuts on the underside if the flooring. line plate up, drop in n tighten bolts, done. otherwise I'd be tripping over the mount.
was thinking the collar and pipe style, like how camper tables are set up, still trip over it.
