The other reason was that the front seat was flush to the bow side of the seat and could easily accomodate a hinge on the outside of the seat which I felt was sturdier. For the rear seat, the lid was flush with the bow side as well but I wanted the seat to also open to the middle of the boat so the hinge had to be on the inside of the seat and lie flat in order to keep the offset and allow the seat to open facing the middle of the boat. I salvaged most of the hinges from a marine salvage yard and bought the one for the rear seat seperately. I could have possibly used the same style of seat hinge but felt the flatter hinge I used was a better fit for the rear seat.Chris</blockquote>
