[QUOTE="alumacrafty, post: 340772, member: 13092"] My only skills revolve around woodworking so I would cut a plywood disc (or square) big enough so that part of it extends beyond the seat. I would then mount the swivel and seat to the plywood and screw the plywood to the aluminum. Hopefully the plywood would span enough area to reinforce the flexing aluminum. With a little more thought, you could make it a slider. It would only add three or four pounds to the rear of the boat. If I had metalworking skills, I would do it with aluminum. You should get about a hundred answers to this query because there might be that many opinions/styles/preferences. If you do use wood, sand the edges and corners to avoid sharp hazards. [/QUOTE]
