Re: boat seat idea
has anyone built boxes for these types of seats? I have two from walmart that I used on my 12' aluminum boat about two or three times, not the most comfortable but right now my back to back seats are rotting and the foam is almost non existent. I figure I could make them like jump seats.
here is another idea you could use as i am.
the reason for me is i want to make things multi usefull, armed stadium seat.
the ones i have when opened up have a flap down pouch in front, plastic arms, pouch behind the back with a blanket inside.
i have set many hours at games and races in these seats and they work really fine.
mine came from sams but walmart also has some for about $17, the sams seats seem a little better.
grandson at races once got kind of cold, reached around and pulled out the blanket for him.
the blankets are actually warm, plus drink in front and munchies.
my boat is a 69 starcraft islander 21.
the two back seat frames are the same size as the stadium seats.
setting on the front pedestals they look perfect.
the base i'm using front and back is trimmed oak ply with a cut out section of camping pad "walmart" on top.
the ply has 4 small holes were j hooks with wing nuts go through to hold the seats.
the seats can be removed very easily for other reasons and you also have the 4 blankets.
next season am planning a 1000 mile trip in the boat and am trying to MacGyver things.
just came up with the idea yesterday and have mocked up but will post pics when finished.
don't laugh, it looks perfect and comfort isn't bad at all.
something to think about.
