That sgreat. I was thinking of this . I dont have a boat but am looking into getting one and i was thinking the same about putting a seat like that because here in the uk you could be more sheltered against the emliments. So it is great to see the idea though by you as well and to be able to see it in action . 😃👍
Bob, Since then I have taken off the aluminum angle on the front and just put a 1x3 on it with a rope through a hole in that board and tied to the centerboard cleat I don't use on the left side. I didn't like the pops from the fiberglass I heard now and again when larger people would lean back. My friend , Pete, made one and used two ropes that support the back to the doghouse higher up. I was thinking even running them up to the handholds but that one lower rope seems to be working fine so far. No more pops!
