Contemplating adding to more seat bases to the left and right of this one already and just using pedestal poles, any opinions ? Think they will hold up fine for spider rigging? I currently have the individual seat bases and they take up a lot of room in the boat

Your best bet is to get a double seat holder from ezt pole perch-i have one and i love it

I added the extra seat bases in my boat and I like it that way. Alot cheaper than buying the double seat stuff. Just get you a hole saw and go to work. If you were closer I would say just swing by and get the hole saw I bought to do mine. Them little jokers are pretty high.
Gonna borrow from the ag shop at school [emoji41]....do you know what size I need? And also if yiu get a change send me a pic of your front deck and your basesQuote:

I've had great success with welding the aluminunim bases to thin gauge decks.
He should be able to reach under the deck and use nuts and bolts instead of screws. Mite even want to make a plate to go under the deck so it will samich the aluminum deck
I hope you are not being serious about damaging tools? If so you need to lighten upQuote:

Use rivnuts to mount the bases to the deck. That's how I did mine I also put a bead of gasket maker on the bottom of the seat base before I bolted it down.
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.Quote:

Dang that's close quarters tiger, must be nice to be young and skinny..rotflmy big butt be taking a swim the first fish on :yikesLike 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?
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.
snubby, could you not use a off-set post to get closer ?Quote:

Just keep using the Wise portable seat stands, I use them occasionally on some of my boats. They work good for what they are. You mounted your Spyderlocks to far forward for pedestals seats anyhow .
Man I'd be worried about falling into or out of the boat off those single seats! I have the same kind but in a double seat and the other day my dad and I were fishing and he stood up to swing a fish in and I leaned back to get out of the way and I fell off the deck into the bottom of the boat.
