Default Re: Helm Boxes to mount pedistal seats

. . I wonder what the overall length of the seats was?
Gillie, I scaled the cross-section sketch in the brochure using the 6'5" headroom dimension to establish a scale factor and came up with about 4.7' for the length of the seats. Length of front deck from stem to base of windshield works out to be 5.4' using same scale factor. Both numbers seem to be about right based on my memory of the Unohu.

I've used those 6 gal tanks too, and they're good for keeping CG low but they take up a lot more deck space than plastic jugs. I have one 6 gal jug shaped like the old jerry cans that measures about 7.7"W x 13"L x 20" H; it's pretty handy when deck space is limited! The newer 5 gal jugs with top and side handles are also easy to use and a good compromise between CG height and floor space. Denny
