Adding a row of bolsters
 
Can it be done easily to a 33 to make it a 4 bolster boat? Was something reinforced at the factory that is different from a standard 2 bolster layout?
Are Baja bolsters out on the after market? Figured i could buy a set and then go with whatever design we like.

I'd check with XT on this one.

Aw, never thought of them, thx.

Yep, we can do that! You can buy the frames on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BAJA-19in-BO...#ht_3664wt_900 This is the same price that we would pay for them, so that saves you some shipping costs. Email me on the color choice keeping in mind that most old Baja vinyls are now obsolete, but we have more than anyone else.

So how does the additional row mount to the boat? I'm guessing something more than roofing nails and krazy glue? Or is it really just predrill and lag bolt through the floor with lots of silicone? Any backing plate?

The inside legs sit on the fuel tank lid just like the front seat so I would install another inspection plate inbetween the seats and thru-bolt with a backing plate just like the front seat. Because the 4 bolster was a factory option there (should) be plywood in the lamination just like the front seat, but that is a big question mark????? Lags in balsa coring will never hold and you might need to add two more 4" access plates. A gunnel bracket just like the forward seat will be needed also from someone that can copy the same shape in stainless steel.
