My newest idea

I've been battling room when pulling jigs and finally got it beat. Double seat leaves me with no leg room and gets In The way, built a bench that worked great but was just to bundlesome.. So I Come up with this idea and it's great.
Used some 2x2x1/8 tubing, drilled holes and welded nuts to pieces of pipe and welded them in so I could use threaded seat poles. I had threaded bases in my boat so I used a 6 1/2" x3/4 bolt to secure it to the boat base.. Zero wobble.. Maximum leg room, nothing to step over, don't have to move anything to open live well or storage compartments,, works great.
Thought I'd share it incase anyone else was looking for ideas.

That's a good idea, looks like it would work well. The pulling jigs thing is something I've been curious about for a long time.

Man, you making me go look at my dang boat, great idea!!!

Looks good

Dang its done cooled off outside, think I can make it work tho, thanks for the idea Dee!!!!

I got one of them. Kinda sorta. Except its not a "T". just a single piece so I can go from either one seat or two seats using one base. If I'm alone, I just put the one seat in the base. If two I put my piece in the base and then a seat on each end. Came with the boat when I boat it. Thought it was a cool idea.

No problem mr john.. You have any questions holler at me and I'll tell you exactly what I used and how I did mine

So much to learn at c.c Great idea Dee.

Nicely done, love DIY projects

I do like it a bunch. Thanks for showing us the pic. I loved it.

Ya did good

That's sweet! Great idea!You prolly can find a rubber plug to close the ends of each tube and prevent rust from getting inside.

That's a brilliant idea. What is the white stuff on the bottom side of the 2x2 tubing?

Wilbur...
That's some dried glue. I glued some 1/4 rubber on the bottom of it so that the I wouldn't have metal to wet carpet contact.

Another good idea.

Great idea! I wonder if it would work on non threaded bases, and in the front for spider rigging?

I would be careful with this particular "T" design without a threaded base or secured down. it would flip backwards pretty easy. If the base in your boat is accessible, you could use a bolt and nut..

Or a pin underneath.

Should work well up front for spider rigging.

That is a great way not to have to drill a bunch of holes in your really nice boat!

Now just make you a offset T bar and use the screw in base to secure it also and you would have a complete remove able setup.

Great idea Jimmy.

That will work Dee, Looks like it would be strong also.

I been wanting a Bimini top for my boat but it was gonna be in the way, think this will solve that problem.

You put a Bimini top on and you better have a big stick ready to beat people outta your shade!

I gotta get me one of those nets.. I never realized how heavy mine was until I picked one up
