If that's what you want to do, just put a pedestal base on top of the bench, that will allow the seat to be removed and swivel. If you want more room back there take it out altogether, and tie the sides into your subfloor. You want it to be strong,  the rear portion of the hull has the most stress on it. I would have braces that run up to the gunnels, fastened to the hull, that tie into the transverse stringers which will support your floor.A console of sorts on the side is common in tiller boats, although I've always seen it on the left side. Most have the gauges, switch panel, graphs, etc. mounted it to it.</blockquote>
