    Here is how my knee supports are. The other pic was before they were finished. These are glued,screwed,and glasses to the transom and floor. I also picked up some stainless lag bolts to tie them into the cross support that connects my stringers.

    Jupiter I hope you didn't take any part of my responses as being cocky. Was just trying to explain my dilemma with the knee supports. I fully agree with You in how they should be I just didn't really have a way of doing it.

    What do you mean. Tying the knee supports into the cross support of the stringers?

    Building hinged rear seat from scratch. Need ideas

    I do have them screwed and glassed to the floor. And they catch one of the cross supports that spans the width of the floor. Maybe I'll grab a few stainless bolts and run them thru the knee supports into that cross brace.

    They are not attached to the stringers. My original floor had knee supports that we're even further away from the 1 center stringer. these are much closer and much stronger than my original floor even when it was at its prime when new. With my boat being as small as it is the area under the...

    Sounds like the same deal. I Remeber a while back people were always complaining about photobucket deteriorating picture quality and since than I haven't used it and actually forgot about it. I'm assuming that issue has been solved?

    Hopefully this helps some people that are on here regularly via iPhone/iPad as you know its a major pain uploading pictures otherwise. Also I am using Atomic web browser. Haven't tried it in safari but I'm sure it should work just as well.

    Building hinged rear seat from scratch. Need ideas

    Here is a picture that I was basing my ideas off of. My issue with hinging the seat back that way is that I plan on having the back come up higher than the back of the boat there where it is hinged. Hence not allowing it to open a full 180*

    Building hinged rear seat from scratch. Need ideas

    Here's what I have so far. I got the front of the base mocked up. The 4x4s I was planning on notching and running a 1x1 from side to side for the base to sit on. But I'm thing that may not cut it. I may extend the knee supports to the front of the base. Notch them near the back and lay a 2x4...
