trying to make the most out of my non-fishing boat for another 2-3 years. boat is a 16ft open-bow walk-thru. the bow area is great for seating and has a ton of storage underneath, so happy with that.
behind the side consoles and walk-thru glass are the old back-to-back lounge seats. they stink. uncomfortable, poor height for visibility thru the glass, and space killers. once i add an extra tank of fuel, 5 gallon bucket, 60 quart cooler, tackle boxes and whatever else has been deemed essential, the stern area of my boat is a disaster.
my initial plan was to tear out both lounge seats and replace with two pedestal-mount swivel seats. that would free up a ton of space alone. but what if the passenger seat could be replaced by the ice chest that gets dragged on board for most trips anyway? Possibly even mount a swivel to cooler lid? This guy has the idea. . . Could install one set of the “corner” mounting brackets up where the passenger seat is, and another at the back of the boat. Move the chest = move the seat.
now tell me why it’s not feasible
