[QUOTE="kalninm, post: 453050, member: 18635"] I don't have measurements for the seats but I can get them later when I go home for lunch. The console on the other hand is an interesting one. When I got the boat the console was not very secure to say the least. It came with an aluminum piece that supported the port side by getting screwed into the console and then into the floor. then the front foot or so of the console just rested on the front deck. So to solve this we cut a 2x4 at a 45 degree angle and slid it all the way to the front. We then screwed the console to it and then screwed it to the deck to hold the front in place. Lastly we didn't have much support on the Starboard side and the console was drooping. All that side did was rest against the side wall so it had no support. So I had some "Z" bar aluminum left over and I cut it to length and riveted it to the side wall of the boat so that it created a lip for that side of the console to sit in. I late also riveted the console to the "Z" bar to further reduce movement when driving. At this point it is pretty stable and I have no real concerns. For you starting from scratch and not having to work around previous design you should be good. Good luck and I'll get back to you on the seat heights [/QUOTE]
