First of all let me say:
OkieBob and Pepop, kiss my @$$.

This is the 1st Double Seat Stand we bought. It was ok, and we felt the best quality of any we found at that time.

We didn't like the fact that the stand did not cover the full bow of the boat. It left about 8"-10" on each side of the boat, which got to be wasted space. Also the seats were mounted to close for my brother and I to fish, without rubbing shoulders, which meant we had to hold our rods in the outside hands. I like jigging with my right hanfd, and it required I jig with my left hand. Also this stand requires that it sit over the single pedistal.


We decided to build our own. This would get everything that we needed, plus was able to add things like the Umbrella Stand to the frame. It completely covers the bow of the boat, giving us about 20"-24" more room between the 2 seats. Now there is room to fish with either hand, and not be crowded together. We were also able to adjust the height of the seat to sit at the most comfortable height. Also was able to get to ALL the storage compartments. Wasn't able to get the door all the way open, but can get into all doors.

I figure we have about $90 - $100 in the cost of the Seat Frame. But it is solid. Then we had 2 swivels for the seats, and the 2 seats. I haven't seen anything that can compare to it, or for our needs anyway. The Seat Frame is made from 1 3/8" Fencing Top Rail.
