Why did you go with the dbl seat up front frame vs using the oem mounts in the floor??[/QUOTE]

I can move it to the rear deck if I want without cutting holes for bases, and I can balance my boat better with it. I'm a big guy, and most of the time my fishing partner is a lot lighter than me so I can shift the frame left or right to keep the boat more level, same thing with short and tall. I can offset the frame and everyone stays comfortable, and as close or far from the holders as they want. Just take out the pedestal And move it where you want it. Its stronger than a pedestal also.

BTW, I use it for hunting, camping, cooking out, or anywhere I need a few extra seats. I even use a few of them in my store for customer seating. I sell lots of em, and they work great. Sold one guy 2 for his Ranger. No holes to drill in his decks!!! He long lines a lot, and takes 2-3 people with him.
