[QUOTE="ThrobbinRod, post: 82432, member: 1409"] Some updates... I'm making it up as I go. :-) I removed the old bench seat. Cut a 1x12 to lengh & slid it into the existing brackets. Cut a 2x12 to match the angle of the transom braces, ripped it to ~10 3/4" and then cut it to length to slide under the bench. (I repeated the process on the other side. I used 2 1/2" course thread drywall screws to hold them together. Just 2 on each side for now. (I hear people yelling stainless already, but once this is assembled, I'm removing the whole unit and coating it as a single piece... so that should take care of it. (I hope!) (I'm about to go take a couple pictures of my current progress & post another update. Not a lot has changed.) [/QUOTE]
