[QUOTE="Outlawelectric, post: 419508, member: 18432"] I used 1/4" aluminum rivnuts and stainless steel screws with trim washers to secure 3/4" carpet covered plywood to my bench seats on my Lowe 1436. I also routered out and installed seat bases in two positions on the middle and back bench. I've used the boat four times since I completed it and I'm very satisfied with with the seat tops. I haven't noticed any movement which would woller out the rivnuts, and I have pushed and pulled on the seats looking for movement of the bases and they seem to be sturdy. On the other hand I was in bass pro the other day and wiggled the seats on a new tracker and the for sure were moving under the carpet. One word of advise for sure go with the long handled rivnut tool, I got the standard tool, and it was a chore for me to set the nuts. Good luck to ya. [/QUOTE]
