i have a 10 foot Livingston boat , I would need to place 2 removeable swivel seats , each
seat would hold a 225 pound person . The 6 hp outboard motor 55 pounds and 3 gallon gas tank 25 pounds . how do i figure the proper location of each seat for
proper weight distribution ?

Be sure to install a periscope. And always wear a SCUBA outfit. Not nearly enough boat to go out safely.

Still interested ? Get your heaviest passenger up front in a seating spot.
You in the back where motor controls are comfortable.
Have him move around until boat is level. You have the correct seat positions.
