Bri,

I used the Creature Comfort seat, but some of my installation applies to your setup. I made a loop of nylon webbing held together with a single screw into the coaming. 1 hole per side, can't get much more minimal than that. That screw is hell to get in there, BTW, since the vertical clearance requires very short tools.

As far as screwing the back webbing directly to the boat - put the screwdriver down and back away from the boat. You do that and you can't remove the seat without a screwdriver. That's amazingly inconvenient when cleaning the boat, or refinishing it. It also limits your adjustability.

Do the right thing,

Laszlo

PS - if you're installing seats, the first paddle can't be far away. You excited?

 The removablity is a factor I didnt think about.

With 4 straps on the PBB, maybe I'll put 4 loops like these,  two on the sides and two more in the back for an easy clip in.  

And Yes. The excitement is building.  Hm, a little pun there, I am so funny sometimes.

Thanks Laszlo 

Laszlo, Do you DFD the seat loop hole?  or permanently glue in the screw?

If it's the latter, do you Pre-Drill?

Thanks

Bri

Bri,

It shames me to admit it (actually, it doesn't) but I did neither. I drilled a pilot hole and just drove the screw in. After 9+ years it's still going strong.

I got away with it because it's on the underside of the coaming (so water doesn't pool there), the screw is a tight fit and I store the boat in the garage between uses.
