Bigshrimping, My lounge seat also rotted out, I had a bunch of West Marine coupons I had to use and ordered there best lounge seat ($239) form the 2003 catalog. After looking around I think I going to mount a seat like the new 23 ft Bayliner Trophy. They come of the side with with a L shaped frame bolted to the side and floor, mount that extra seat to the frame and you can slide a Iglo 94 qt. with small door in end under the seat. To the cooler behind the seat they add a cushion as exta seat, or you could make bracket wider and mount a seat to rear. You can also do this to driver side. This adds a lot of dry storage or fish boxes, buy eliminating the pedestal post. Cooler size could be made larger. I want $70. for the lounge seat still in box. How much do you went for the your seat.? Are you familiar with the way Bayliner rigged this seat. pretty slick! Crusher
