[FONT=arial, sans-serif]I'm doing a partial restoration on a Wellcraft bow rider which will include a patch job on the floor, new carpet and replacing the rotted, back to back seats. I plan on replacing them with Wise Deluxe Back to Back Lounge Seats, Part # WD707P-1-924. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]The wood and fiberglass bases of the original seats are still in good shape, while reading the reviews of the Wise seat, the word "flimsy" is used more than once when describing the plastic base and hardware.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]The dimension of bases that are in there now are 38" L x 12.5" W and 10" tall. The base on the Wise seats are 36" L x 13.5" W and 10" tall.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]I really don't want to remove the stouter existing bases, that are securely attached, to replace with a light weight plastic base that, by one review, won't hold up to the weight of a 200lb. adult if the boat goes into a lean. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]The base on the Wise seat is 1/2" wider and 2" shorter than the original base. Can I install the rails of the new Wise seats in the original bases or modify the hardware that comes on the Wise seat to fit the original base?[/FONT]
