I'm thinking on mounting the sweats solid. No need for a swivel actually.. |

I don't know.I really don't see an advantage of a swivel seat, but it's a neat idea. might swivel the passenger (port) side front. |

Nice to have the swivel seat after you anchor up so you can face the passengers and join in the fun... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! True, but my wife's idea of having fun (especially on a river cruise), is park the boat and head immediately to a motel for shower, book reading and HBO! |

There are still a few knowledgable guys who check in there once in a while. I was thinking that you might be able to adapt a small dock box but prices have gone through the roof for them. Best bet is probably to build something out of plywood if you or a buddy have cabinet making skills. |

Oh yeah, we can build them but I liked the idea of the pre-formed and If could be found reasonable, I'd think that would be the ticket. http://www.lasvegaspix.com/projects/...s/IMG_1953.jpg the guy did a stunning job on the Sleekcraft Executive, and here's the final outcome of his cooler seat box. |
