Brine & Grizzly, Thank you both for the advice. I'm going to drag the boat into the basement (since I don't have garage) and probably start work on it this weekend. I'll take some pictures of what I end up with. I may not stop with the pedestals. It just depends on how creative I get and...

Thanks for the advice Grizzly. I can make that work.

Brine, I picked up the pedestal bases yesterday after work and I'm going to give them a try. I'm just going to install the back one first and get a feel for it before I install my front one. I have a treated 2x10 that I am going to use between the seat and pedestal. Did you use lag screws...

Hello everyone! This is my first post. I found this site a few days ago and its nice to know that I'm not only guy in the world fishing out of a small aluminum boat. It feels like that some times. I bought my first boat 2 years ago. It is a 1973 Sears 12 ft. Semi Vee. I have swivel seats...
