Lots of reasons to choose a 1910 over either MX model, but the lack of a stern deck seat is a limitation.
I plan to reinforce the inside of the livewell lid with some thick aluminum, and add a seat base in the center. It’ll allow for a leaning pole when casting and a seat when running the kicker motor. Should be an easy DIY…I hope.
But then you won’t be able to open the livewell very easily.
I just picked up a WX2060 from SBC last week and trailered it home to Washington State. The ski pylon is very BEEFY! I couldn’t imagine a stronger ski pylon on any boat that is still removable. It would definitely be strong enough to hold a seat. What I’m going to try to do is have a locale machine shop fabricate the bottom half of the ski pylon up to the point where it is about level with the top of rear casting deck. The top of this custom pole will have a receptacle sized to accept the pin from a 3/4″ pin style seat. I’ll probably get the teflon liner and have it inserted into the post top. I’ll be able to insert a seat (either a captain’s chair or a bicycle seat) into this retrofitted ski pylon seat post adapter. As I haven’t yet had the work done I cannot tell you of the final result, but thus far I can’t see any reason that it won’t work.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the factory supplied a drop in part.
