I bought an old Glastron tri hull, the inside has been restored with the new back to back seats from deckmate. They have the rectangular plastic base. Roughly 36"x13.5" and 10" high.
The plastic frame design is just ok at best, but even when a 225 lbs person sits in a seat I can see the plastic frame starting to bow.
I'm also not impressed with how the seats attach to the floor.
I'm thinking of building a (treated) wood frame inside the plastic frame.. A rectangular frame with 1"x6" horizontal boards.. And cut several 10" pieces and attach them vertically .. So it would look like a rectangular picket fence just inside the plastic frame. The tops of the 10" cut pieces would rest along the outer plastic underside of the seats and the bottom against the floor.
Has anyone done something similar? Or have a better idea?
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
