I have a 2010 Qi5 Tahoe Fish and Ski and I have noticed that the back fishing seat feels very flimsy while sitting. Can you reinforce the pedestal portion attached to the decking? I would hate to have the fiberglass crack while someone is using that seat, plus have to replace the sun deck. Has anyone reinforced this?

I'm sure someone will come a long and help you with how to reinforce the deck itself if it's begining to crack.
I just wanted to point out that often time (assuming you have a king pin type) like this link http://www.iboats.com/Kingpin-trade...014271--session_id.164728366--view_id.1184198
That it's usually the pedestal or mount itself that makes it seem flimsy. After a while the bushings wear out. Also make sure no one is sitting in them unless you're at trolling speed.

Is the deck flexing or the actual seat. If it's the deck then post some pics so we can see what you see.
