I'm looking into some minor mods to my 2009 Lowe A1457. https://www.loweboats.com/showroom/utility-v/angler/a1457.php
Couple questions:
1) When you guys are attaching wood platforms on top of the seats only, how are you attaching them to the seat? With all the foam underneath I'm not sure the best way to approach since you can't use a bolt and nut from underneath. Also how are you attaching a seat post from underneath the plywood before attaching it to the seat? I'm guessing recessed holes for the nuts and bolts so the wood fits flush on top of the seats? Or are you using some type of liquid nail or something?
2) When attaching rails to the seats for decking or whatever...again how are you doing so without the ability to get on the other side with a not and bolt? Maybe a butterfly toggle that expands from the other side? Not sure if that's the correct term.
Heres's basically what I'm looking at doing:
1) Build a rear compartment to store two batteries and safety vests. I'm tired of having to pack them into the car and out each time so that they don't roll over while in transport or to keep the vests from flying out. Not a big deal but to leave the batts and vests in the boats at all times will save time. Plus I have an onborad charger that I'd like to install.
Thanks
