2007 Tracker 175TXW. Can I drill holes and add seat bases in these locations??? I just want to add two so I can store the seats out of the way. In the rear would be best. CLICK TO ENLARGE

Nothing but foam under the ones in the back, the front would be fine to but don't go to far to the outside or it will be too shallow and you will hit the bottom of the boat.

Do you risk creating a water entry point that might eventually waterlog the foam at those rear corners

I think that after I drill the hole, I'll put some great stuff foam in there and install the set bases while it's still not cured. I'll put some tape on the bottom of the bases so the foam doesn't come up through the seat base holes.

Do your seat bases have brass bushings? The brass bushings in the seat base eventually wear out and become loose. Most just replace the base when that happens. If you foam in the base it might be the devil to remove down the road/
