Had a seat problem no matter how tight they were fastened down the still we're loose the jack ass that re did my interior leveled my floor out did it over my old floor carpet and all so I ripped out everything and went back to the existing floor so new seat buckets were now needed And removed the railing so I patched up the holes got to get it ready for a paint job
-
Some more pics of before I started probably removed a 100 lbs of crap
-
Patching some holes where the rails were mounted and where the ventilation holes were
-
So I need some input from you fello boaters should I glass inn the seat buckets so they don't ever move or come out or rig it to be removable and I was tossen the ideal around of epoxy coating the hole inside of the boat instead of Capet what's your thought ???

I would glass them in JMO. As for the epoxy coat... DON'T! It will not last and will look like hell. It you are looking for color on the floor i would flow coat it. Prep the floor and get it nice and smooth. Then prep with 100 grit and spray it. Flow coat is a Half gel coat and half clear coat. If done right, it will be a walk away finish.

It's a tunnel hull, there is no floor really. If you take your time and make everything smooth and straight, you'll have a awesome looking floor.
