    Question about rivets...

    If the seat is seperated from a wood floor,then use blind rivets,if it is metal to metal you must use solid or they will leak!

    Seat Bases

    I've seen surface mount bases that might be the ticket for you. Only downside is once you take the seat off you still have a plate that is 2" above the floor.

    I screwed 4- 4" short alum. angle to the sides of the boat,down 3/4" from the top of the rub rail and installed a 3/4" carpeted plywood small deck then purchased a removeable motor mount.now I can take the motor off and on as I please.

    Seat Bases

    By the looks of it,you should have a good 3" or more. but as stated above just drill a small 1/4" hole and check it out.

    I don't see why not ,they use them on cars that are exposed to worse conditions than you will on the water.

    Baitcaster questions

    Best advice,purchase the best you can afford,the better the reel the better it will cast and the more you will enjoy it. I've always used garcias and never had a casting problem that wasn't my fault.

    1436 removing the middle seat

    The seat holds the sides from flexing.not a good idea to do that. maybe cutting a section from the middle would be a better idea,that way you can wal thru without stepping over a seat and still maintain some stability to the sides.
