Proper Positioning of RPS Seat on Outrage 18?

I pulled out a crappy home made RPS/live bait combo unit, and have a nice refurbished original RPS to put in. It originally had the two captains seats (can tell by the bolt hole pattern in floor). Can someone tell me the proper distance from the console bottom edge to the leading edge of the RPS seat brackets on the floor? Any other advice will be welcomed as well. Thanks!
