Not exactly sure but the seat is mounted in the center hole of the 3 that Pete puts in them. I can measure it for you next time I am at my shop.
He had a ton of fun. Still has a lot to learn about the bad things that can happen and go wrong. We did a few evasive manuevers at 60mph with me chopping a throttle too.
Need to document your maiden voyage!!!!
Can't wait.
Talked to Skate today. He is bringing his boat to Key West. You should come too!

Do you guys tow them down yourselves? Think my Beam is just at the point when I run into trouble in some places which we have discussed before. NJ being one and its my home state. Ha. Id probably have to hire someone to haul it for me. Just bought a total cover for my rig today. Covers the boat and the motors and will be made to be fastened down to trailer too. Need it for winter here maybe also.

There of a ton of guys towing rigs wider than yours. Mine is only 9'6" and I have zero issues. Helt tows his 338 everywhere flat also without issues. I'll tow to south Florida and probably do the poker run to KW. It's a bucket list run and a great way to enjoy your boat and meet everyone. I'm actually considering leaving it down there for the winter.
There are several guys who regularly tow for a price. I'm considering having a local retiree take mine down. He works reasonably and loves to travel. Win win situation I can work fly down and come out way ahead of towing for four days on my on

Sounds good Jim. Let me know when it is back at TNT and we can discuss some options. I would love to the real wrap around windshield but you guys were not done with it when I did the Aeromarine one I have. I am sure there is a boat customs one in my future somewhere down the road. Hopefully with a bigger a boat!

Im working on inside storage but I figured Id get the cover too just in case. My Parents live in Palm Beach Gardens/North Palm Beach. Was thinking about sending it down there and rack storing it for winter. I can still use it when I go down just have to inform the insurance carrier. Progress is coming. Waiting on pics. They had gauges cut out last week. Gotta believe they have them all in by now. The cleets and bumper pins were in a while ago and both motors mounted more than a week ago. gotta be getting somewhere.

Your boat will be perfect for south Florida and the Keys boating!
