Thanks to TubeDude and Flygoddess for the inspiration to spend the day improving my Scadden Assault XX for the upcoming season.
My wife got tired of sitting on the stock seat for 6-8 hours at a time, and wanted more back support and the ability to turn around to talk to me or help net fish.
Picked up this swivel seat stand that sits on the front deck with the legs sitting on some varnished wood to evenly distribute the weight. When properly cinched down, it is solid as a rock and even more comfortable than we ever expected. It might be a little too high, but we'll take it out for a test run before making the irreversible modification of shortening the legs.
TubeDude's book and posts gave me some good ideas on rigging up my new Humminbird 597c HD DI fish finder using PVC pipe for the display mount with a swing-up pole to lower and remove the transducer from the water.
Can't wait to try it out.
