Has anyone installed 2 lean/seat??

Starting off the New Year with my 23' project, in the water, Potter bracket, twin 2001 135 'Rudes, loving it! The boat is still rough until I figure out all that I want to do.
The boat will be used for family fishing and diving so flexible seating a must. I was thinking that a second leaning post seat with no rod launchers up against the transom might do the trick. My fuel bulbs and filters would be accessed behind it, air tanks could be strapped underneath, or a cooler for family cruises. The helm seat will have a live well under it.
Anyone done this?

PS. I can put my 300 lbs on the bracket and it stays dry!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Birdsall Marine in West Palm Beach, Fl. Has a leaning post similar to what your talking about.

Bill,
You might try to find a fold-down bench seat that some of the other boat mfg's put in their transom areas. This way it could be dropped out of the way for fishing and folded up for seating when needed. Pursuit is one boat that comes to mind.

I saw a new 30' Whaler at a recent boat show that has a nice swing-down rear seat. They use the bolster as a back rest when it's up. I'd love to have a couple of those on each side.
