Back to back seats do have their advantages, but simply replacing the pedestal seats with them isn't going to fix your problem. You really need to pull the pedestals out and fix the issue at the source....the rotten deck core. Unless you do that, you're going to end up with a completely rotten deck at some point and that is a sh*tload of work to get fixed. Address the deck core now, before it becomes a major problem.

Once you have the deck core replaced, then you should be able to either remount the pedestals securely or install your back to back seats.

Personally, I would stick with the pedestals. But if you need additional storage, consided building some boxes to mount the pedestals on.

Just my $.02. Good luck. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
