removable center bolster
 

anyone ever seen one? Id like to be able to add one for my daughter but then remove it when she's not along....the hard part would be fastening it down any ideas?

I would think that just something that you drop btwn your current set up would be good. Maybe there is a way to put some loops on the bolsters and some pins on the removable back so that you just lift it up and away. Then so that no one gets hurt on the loops you could have like a small piece that could drop in on each bolster to make sure no one got hurt on them. Hope I explained that well. I hav been looking at doing the same thing. It is a bummer when there is three people on the boat and the one person has to stand up in the back or sit in the back.

Audio my daughter is 16 months old so I need her where I can keep an eye on her. I think I'll build a complete bolster to fit her with 5 point belts and then put some threaded plates in the floor and use T-nuts to hold it down....I just hoped someone had done it already so I could learn from there mistakes!

I built one years ago for my 28 Cigarette (2 Cigs ago). We had angle stainless pieces on the existing seats (covered with vinyl) that an L shaped rod dropped down in.

Ironically, 24 Sonic's had a drop in center bolster in the late 70's and early 80's. So your manufacturer may have some info.

look at the 42 outerlimits most of them have it. it slides down in a track on bolth sides of the seat looks nice too. call als custom in NJ #609-267-4255

Some boaters rig attachment points in the floor for an automobile child car seat. Make sure you provide shade for the baby.

Active Thunder has a slide in 3rd bolster that is pictured in the thunder forum on Jassmans Radioactive.

The white slide on the left side across from the bolsters is the reciever

All three, what a sweet boat!

looks way cool! thanks guys!

We did one for my eliminator cat. Had a complete seat made to fit snuggly between the front buckets,then fabricated a seat frame for it from aluminum 2 inch L angle stock. Fabricated matching brackets under the existing seats and bolt them together with 3 bolts per side. Not quick release by any means but I wanted to be sure my daughters seat was solid and safe. It takes about 3 or 4 minutes to install or remove. Having her right beside me eases any worries about running hard.

airpacker can you post a pic????sounds real nice...did you add seat belts? I was thinking about a set of childrens 4 point belts like they use in Jr. dragsters or dunebuggies....

Sorry.no pics of it. If you can wait until winter goes away I'll send ya some. No seatbelts as I wouldn't want my kid strapped to an open boat incase something went wrong. I did install a couple of "chicken straps" for her to hold onto though. They are just long enough to meet handle to handle over her legs. She just puts the handles together,closes her hand around them and off we go. Whatever you do,don't let the kids sit up on their knees to see over the dash. Hard to stay there when you throttle back without doin a face plant. I had the seat made with a ton of foam under it so it acts like a booster seat.

Airpacker my daughter isn't old enough to hold on yet so I need a belt.....post some pics when you can...
