Hey guys, I have an 18' jet boat with the cocktail style seating and was wanting to change to a bucket front, bench rear set up. I pulled everything out last season to start the work but after getting hurt at work, I haven't been able to put any time into the project and don't know if I'll ever be at 100% again so I'm thinking of taking it to a shop to have it done.
Thanks

I was wondering if any of you guys had any experience or ideas as to how I can make the seats sit lower than stock. I'm about 6'3" and feel somewhat like a gorilla with the stock seat height. If I took the cushion off and sat on the seat box, the height was much more natural looking. I'm going to start looking around at shops and wanted to see if anyone on here had any ideas I could forward to the interior guys or what. One idea I had was to contour the bottom of the seat to the bottom of the boat and then level it with the foam. I know there would be less padding on the left side of the seat due to the contour but figure it would be negligible. Has anyone seen anything like this done before?

It all deoends...If your boat us a 3/4 or full stringer you don't have any options. But if it's a 1/4 stringer you could fab something up.

Use a 1x2 for the box to rest on the floor then attach seat to that. Most boxes are 1x4. I added a foot rest to keep my knees bent but in your case your almost flat on the floor already. This is only if you want to have your legs under dash btw.

Been keeping a lookout for a buddy in need of seats. If your going to get rid of yours pm me. Thanks
