[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 523192, member: 3438"] If the OP is trying to use a tall, 30", pedestal seat, that will be a problem. Plywood or aluminum. The length of the pedestal is a long lever. The front screws are going to try to pull out on every acceleration. With a jet, you are doing that all the time, to get shallow as quick as possible. I have only seen these tubular framed seats in this type of application. They are expensive, so there is probably a good reason why. Otherwise, plywood support does work, and have used it myself with no issues. Getting the floor up may have its challenges, and location of floor supports is unknown. [/QUOTE]
