    And here I went from no middle seat to a middle seat. Feel better if my boy was directly beside me while on plane.

    Thanks! Later on I thought that I should left it smooth without the grooves and gotten a carpet graphic from iguana to stick on it with the tracker logo or something. Who knows maybe someday I will anyway.

    I'm gonna use aluminum diamond plate and put plastic mold on the edges to fill out nicely and just cover the area. See if I can get carpet embroidery of something to place in front of the live well area.

    Sounds like a good plan. Diamond plate would be a good non slip surface.

    Nice job! Where did you get the plastic clips to hold your seat post.I never fish sitting but it would be great to have the option of keeping it on the boat.

    Those things are handy. I rarely use the seat either but my dad does on the back deck but even if Im alone its always there. Actually they are powder coated steel clips. I took my seat post to my local fab shop and he ordered them for me. Have no idea where he got them tho but he had them for me the next day. Fastenal or a similar store would probly have something.

    great idea!! i currently just have my seat removed (put 3/4" marine ply with carpet over the top for more support)

    but LOVE the idea of diamond plate... not sure about yours but when i removed my middle seat, it seemed fairly un-supported, like the aluminum would bend over time.. that is why i added the ply on top...

    but i would recommend adding some aluminum angle stock and rivit it to the underside of the seat before installing the diamond plate


    just a thought...

    I made a tool tray/tackle cubby to replace my Tracker's center seat... 3/4" treated plywood, outdoor carpet, and a handful of 2" wood screws. voila!
    middle seat box1(small).jpgmiddle seat box2(small).jpg
    I used the center seat's original hinge and strap on this ... the tackle boxes fit just snugly enough that they don't fall out when the box is tipped forward to access the storage area underneath. it's quite solid and strong enough to stand on too.

    Very cool idea. Can never have enough tackle storage. Like the dual step so its not so high up to.

    Diamond plate would look cool for sure but it would probly get hot and have alot of glare. My painted step can gt warm to tho it all does in the hot sun out here.

    Im really impressed with the textured VHT paint I have been using so I needed to repaint my center step anyway I decided to use the textured paint and I think it turned out really nice. I updated pics at the first comment.

    If anyone wants the center box that I had posted above, I'll give it away. Local pickup of course, its to big and heavy for me to hassle with shipping.
