I'm looking for suggestions on how to mount my seat pedestals. Here is what I have/will have. I have 12" solid pedestals (not removable type). I want to put them on the floor of the boat. The floor will be as low as I can keep it. It will be aluminum tube perpendicular to the ribs and riveted down with a composite floor (thin cbond material) on top and carpeted. My issue is with the low clearance under the floor how best to prepare something under the flooring to mount the pedestals into?
I thought perhaps a 2x6 or 2x8 wood block mounted between the aluminum tubes where I plan to put the pedestals and then just use some short lag bolts on them. Would that work? Any other suggestions?
