I have a 1971 whaler and am ready to place the seats and console. I've read that the back seat should be 22" from the splash well. It seems a bit far back to me. Does anyone know the ideal placement for the super sport seating. Please let me know.
Thanks

If you've properly filled the old screw holes you could move the whole interior forward. I bought my 13 from a guy who weighed about 250 and he had moved it forward about 8 inches for better weight distribution.

Thanks for the quick response. What size engine do you have on your boat? With your set up being 8" forward does it seem to be well balanced or a bit bow heavy? There are no holes on my boat so I can place it forward without any problems.
Thanks
