Adding seating to bow of 175
« on: May 09, 2013, 04:24:41 PM »
I need to try to make my 175 a bit more family friendly for when we go tubing, etc.
I am thinking to add a seat in the bow.  Sounds like some people get customs cushions made... sounds expensive and not simple.  I'm wondering about just mounting a bench to the fishbox lid.  Ideally I'd have something that flips so that the kids seated there could face forward or backwards depending what we are doing but i haven't seen any good example of a suitable seat.
What I have found so far are the following benches that I could probably simply bolt on.   I am eager for further suggestions and especially for pics of what anyone else may have done.

I put cushions up front that works well, nothing to trip over or get in he way.
