Lowe 1448T How do you mount a seat on factory front deck

[PaThwacker]

Hi, I am trying to rig up my new to me 1448T Big Jon. I purchase 4 seats, 3 Wise plastic folding seats, and 3 Springfield swivel clamp ons. The 4th seat is intended to be mounted on the front deck. The 3 swivels are going on the middle bench and rear big bench. The swivels are actually anchored by screw in ledges/tabs you mount on the front and back of the bench. They work extremely well after I test out the mount and brackets on the 19" wide rear bench. The two other swivel mounts are going on the sides of the middle bench. You twist them sideways to get into the factory livewell (storage). As you all know, the Big Jon variants are monsters.

My problem is seat#4: I want it to go onto the factory front deck. How do I mount that setup? The seat base mount is wide/raised with 9 screw holes.

I have been waiting 4 weeks for kenda load range (C) tires, I gave up and had e-trailer send me load range (B) 8" galvanized rims and tires. I must have been the only customer Globally that needed 8" galvanized rims in load range (C). Kenda promised manufacturing them and then pushed it back another 3 more weeks (6-week open ended waiting period to be manufactured). Screw those $44 tires!
.


I tried to mount 12" tires, but would require new fenders or remove them completely, and if removed I needed to custom the mount tail lights. Screw that! $40 return shipping back to ebay for that test.
In the end, I will probably get a newer trailer properly sized for the boat. The boat hangs 2 feet beyond the bunks and sole trailer cross member. I ordered/received 7ft bunks, and have to order new mounting hardware.
