Hey y’all I’m in the process of replacing the carpet in my 03 and I removed the front seat support. Has anyone left it out completely. I don’t use a seat up front very much. Was wondering if I was to install one a holder that you typically can buy at academy ( a flat plate with a whole in the middle) if the front deck would still be rigged enough to old the weight of people on it and the pressures of a pedestal seat. The only reason I’m considering leaving it out is so I can put a tackle storage system under the front deck. Any thoughts y’all.
