So that's how folks mount the captain's chair bases? Saw them off? Makes sense. I was considering welding something custom, but that looks easier.

Do you like the tube location for your cockpit chairs? I am hacking in that area now an debating putting mine there- in the step down, or on top of the deck.

I think on top of the deck must be nicer in terms of seat back clearance to the gunwale when you rotate left, but it might be too far back. I wonder if where yours is feels right to you?

Hey Fish - I haven't done much on this project (been dealing with some health issues). I plan on making boxes similar to Strick and Blue Heron and using the step down as a storage area / raised platform. I'll keep them in place until I have time in the fall.
