I was wondering if anyone could tell me the the best distance to mount my new bench seat from the transom. Im looking for the best ride and would sacrifice a little space if it means pushing everything forward.

I will measure mine up for you. I can not say it is the placement is right but I think I remember placing the rails and wood in the correct position when I finished my 15. I left enough room behind the storage compartment to install a fuel tank and still stand over the motor if needed.

I centered the front bench seat with the front vertical railing. With that... anchor well to front of back seat is about 28 1/2 and about 70 to leading edge of the helm seat. Pretty close to your measurements.... got some updated pics on my photo bucket if your interested! http://s1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff510/bda_n_tampa/

I see them redone as awesome flats boats, center console all clean’ no wood and think man I’ve Got to do that to mine. then I see one with fresh wood and think, Man I’ve got to pull my interior and refinish it. So many choices, it boggles the mind.
