My hull is very different from yours, but I'm using a 4" X 4" chunk of wood. Very, very ghetto.

Seriously, I think the type of seat your using is going to make a big difference in how it's mounted. What kind of seats are you going with?

Almost identical in layout to the Miller I had.
I wish I would have documented that project a lot more. Basically I glassed in some cut down 2" X 4"'s to the floor. Then screwed the seats down to the 2" X 4"'s, screws went through the seat bases (the part you see when the seat's bottom cushion's are out. Screw's were of the regular drywall type of screw. I also shot a couple of screws in through the side of the seats to the side of the hull, but that didn't need to be done.
The only pic I could find of those 2 X 4's, not sure if this pic is before they were replaced or after.

Rod,

That's how mine were in the first place and I guess I'll just put it back that way for the time being.  DAMN!!!  I want to get out on the water.

Greg, not exactly the same but I picked up some 3/16 aluminum plate and built "seat pans" for my seats that I picked up from Skip.  They'll mount to some 3" X 3" angle that is sandwiching my stringers.  Should provide tons of support and will last for ever.
