Updating bench type pilot seat to a Boston whaler mahogany rps, has anyone installed there gas tank under this seat, if so what tank size was used, what modifications had to be done and is this a bad place? https://www.specialtymarine.com/collections/rps-seats-and-accessories/products/boston-whaler-mahogany-rps-seat-fits-classic-16-17-hulls-1 Also, repowering with 4 stroke 90 hp. Mercury, weight distribution is what I’m thinking about. Thank You in advance of replies. May your pleasures be many and your troubles be few. LZ Friendly.

Cushion foam is not bagged, vinyl is thin and fails after 2 years. Wood is not high quality and the finishing is subpar. If I was forced to replace my current RPS I would purchase the individual pieces from several quality vendors and assemble it myself. Teak RPS and swing arm blocks - Bob Latourelle rlatourelle@comcast.net Swing arms - Ray Martin, Martin Marine wwww.martinmarinedesign.com Seat cushion base - Anderson's Mfg. www.amfg.us Grab Handles - Perko https://www.boatersland.com/pko1231dp...p0chr.html Rod holders - Lee's 0 degree https://www.wholesalemarine.com/lees-...der-2-o-d/ The original Z legs are out of production so I would source a pair from SM till I found a set on Craigslist or FB Marketplace.
