In my opinion, Tsunami/Sceptres are one of the most under rated boats on the water. They do so much, so well and are comfortable, dry and have way more usable room than a CC for what I do.
Love the helm chairs. Were the brackets custom?

Ill agree, as to the Tsunami/Sceptre being one of the most under rated boats, especially for what folks like you and I use them for.The cockpit is perfect for storing the loads of gear for trolling or diving.I have 30 rod and reel setups on board, 24 rod holders, 2 120 qt coolers, lots of tackle boxes and other containers.The closed bow keeps water out and the enclosure keeps us pretty warm when trolling in early spring with water temps in the high 30's and air temps in the 40's.
Yes, the seat bases are custom made.we wanted to be able to slide the coolers under the seats, and couldn't do that with pedestal bases, so we bent up 1-1/2" aluminum tubing, and mounted one end to the deck floor, and the other to the liner with stainless threaded inserts.
A while back I thought about going back to pedestals, but decided the current ones we made are better for space saving, like if I ever catch a fish as big as the monster your holding in your avatar.
Here's a pic of the bases with the old crummy seats
