    The seats actually sit on the ridge of the coin box and then two screws go into the back deck and then there are two clips per seat that mount under the front

    Just wanted to compliment you on the work you have done to your boat. The 300 series are such great boats

    I just built and installed a deck extension on my 365V. I did a drop in type so I can remove it when I take my 90 lb Lab out with me. When it is in the boat I can store a cooler, extra gear and tackle under it.

    Hi there awesome work with the seats and coin box!!!! Do you have any pics during the build showing the rod ramp being cut out? I have a 361v and would like to try and do these seats too.

    No I didn't get any pictures of that in progress I use an oscillating tool and a jigsaw make sure you put painters tape on the bottom of the jigsaw in case it bounces it won't scratch your gel coat. I used cardboard to make a template on each side as I went for the radius of the seat to be cut out. Do you have flush mount controls? That's one thing I felt like I needed to add so I bought one off of eBay for just under $100 I had to move my ignition switch to the dash. About to seat clips that held the seat down from Great Lakes skipper he's real reasonable. I did a lot of research before I did this. I explained to Connie Hill Ranger Boats I was doing and she sent me installation instructions for seats and the coin box she is very helpful.

    I love everything that you did. You can tell your workmanship is impeccable, even through the pictures. I would love to do the same you did with the factory deck extension - any chance you have pictures of that install?

    Also, would like to know how your handled getting the hinges back on your lids after you re-carpeted. I'm working on mine now and I don't think riveting is an option due to the piece of fiberglass that got glued in on the underside of the lids. Bolts don't really seem to be an option either as the existing holes won't go straight through. Any help is appreciated!

With some modifications to the passenger side box or should I say cutting it out and removing it it came out really nice. Here are some before and after pictures. I also have the old seat and seat frame inside box lid if anyone is interested. It should fit a 361 or 362.
    Looks great. Really improves it overall. Great boat.

    The 69 ( & 70) Mach 1 were 428, not 427. The Boss was a 429. Had both in 69 & 70. Great cars.

    I don't think I have any pictures building the deck extension where the tackle tray and ice chest are but I may be able to pull the trash can out and get some pictures of underneath. I did use rivets just like they were from the factory but I used stainless steel instead of the aluminum because I fish in brackish water and even though it's brackish it they still corrode over time.

    Definitely nice work! I would be interested in knowing what you did on the flipping deck hinge area. Did you find a hinge that would work or did you add a filler piece so a normal piano hinge can be screwed into.

    sold by greatlakesskipper



    Ranger Boats 9847113 Stainless Steel 34" 16 Gauge Marine Piano Hinge
    ( 191874975608 )

    This is a hinge I got from Great Lakes skipper. I took a larger drill bit and beveled the existing holes in the hinge, then I used flat head stainless steel screws so they would be flush in the hinge would close completely.
