The coolest way I have seen to do it, and the way I intend to do it if I ever get that far...T nuts! Pound the T nut into the ply under the seat after marking it. Man I wish I could remember the guy who did his that way and it was slick! No way for rot to get a foot hold. Help me out guys. Who was that?

Bench, pedestal, back to back? everything attaches slightly different

Don't know what type of seats or anything about your boat. On my back to back seats I glassed the boxes to the deck. No screw holes, no opportunity for water to satruate the deck.

Have a great day

And all this time I thought super glue and duck tape fixed anything.. but in this case..I'd throw in a couple of thumb tacks just to be on the safe side m8.....

YD.

We need to know what kind of seats. General answer is to glass in a sufficient mounting platform (2' x 2' x 3/4" ply) and attach the pedestal or what have you to that.
