Do you use your double seats with pedestals while spider rigging with two guys? Thought about doing mine but seems to be crowded enough with just me up there.. I know you and me got the same boat.

I see you took my advice.I think it will work great.IMO put two more bases close enough to rest your arms on your legs and rest your finger tip on the holders.I've found putting the holders more to outside of boat is better.Always better to have more room in between the seats.And on mounting do what slabin said we've mounted many of seat bases without any hiccups.

I fish up there with him. I'm bigger than he is and all stove up. It's narrow and kinda tight to the out side. Never had any trouble fishing though. Just have to take your time if moving to back of boat.

Dang that's close quarters tiger, must be nice to be young and skinny..my big butt be taking a swim the first fish on Like the setup tiger, mounted my single 4 pole holder out on the bow to get the poles away from the boat, now sitting in single pedestal mounted seat I find myself sitting on the edge of seat to set the hook, great when they biting, but bad waiting for a an hour or so.. them bases on them chairs pretty sturdy?

Spose I could, it's just about single pole fishing time for ole snubbs next couple,three months , offset my arm no problem... seats are in the works.. EZ need to call on my checklist.. thanks eagle, I would like your post if I could

your deck looks a lot like mine and Alumacraft told me not to do it. Not enough bracing to support extra bases. If you can reach under and install a plate bigger than the seat base you might be ok. Hate to find out the hard way and tear up the deck and crash to the bottom of boat.
