Ok guys had to share this with ya it turned out so well. after using the bike seat on the boat i just missed the full support of the regular seat but as we know it sits to low and crowds you to the front. SO.....
I took aluminum stock at work and make 5 inch pedestal extentions that solved the height problem. Next i took a piece of 1/4 inch thick plate steel measuring 8" x 12" and used the bracket off the bottom of the seat to lay out 4 clearance holes in it so the bolts cold go back thru it and into the seat then in the front of the plate i drilled and tapped 2 1/4" holes i mounted the seat bracket to these 2 holes and the middle 2 holes in the plate. with this all back together this moves your seat backwards 5 inches that added with the height of the pedestal extention makes the boat really fish like its a foot longer trust me.
If anyone wants to try this but doesn't undertand it just contact me i will try to make it clearer or maybe we can get one of the guys to illistrate it for us.
