Most of the double seat set ups out there all have issues stepping over to get to the back, there is never a hurry for me to get to the back , you get use to it and learn to take your time

I just purchased a nitro z8 and plan on putting 2 bases in the front if at all possible. My thoughts on it are get a piece of plywood cut it to fit up front and start mounting things to it so I can move them around until I get it just the way I want it.

I'm with G , add bases if at all possible. Mount a seat ( or seats) on plywood , set them in boat , move them around till you have them like you want , mark floor, then add/mount bases, if that is possible. If not , maybe due to storage lids?? We don't know because you didn't tell us , you will need a double rig. Measurements from other boats probably won't help much, because every boat is a little different. If your boat is a dedicated crappie rig , I'd go bases, even if I had to pay a professional to install them. Likely still be cheaper than a double seat rig, and much cleaner floor plan.
The bases are the only way to go IMO, it was a key factor in buying my new to me boat recently. The one I purchased allowed to access the underside of the deck thru the storage lockers without being actually mounted in the hatches themselves. If you must choose a double seat base frame, look into one that is as flat or flush with the floor as possible so you can enter/exit seats thru the middle without the trip hazard.
I put in 2 seat bases in my boat. I wish that I would have got something else to use. If you want to sell your boat it will just about have to be a crappie guy to buy it. The bass guys would complain about the 2 extra bases.

Who cares what a bass guy thinks anyway? Not sure why it would matter, the bases don't bother anyone, they are just there if you choose to use them, if you don't ain't bothering no one :popcornQuote:

what ??? Why would anyone complain about extra bases , if their installed correctly? I say its about the only hole drilled that appreciates a boat . Regardless of species . IMHO of course.Quote:
