[Rhodes22-list] re inforcing seats

[Todd Tavares]

Mike,

Your idea sounds good but may be more complicated than you think. 
Remember that the forward wall of the laz on most boats is just a
partition and not a load bearing bulkhead.  Just a thought.

  Todd,

  I have no doubt that Roger's solution works, although I think that
  there
  must be another way that is more visually appealing. Has anyone
  attempted
  to run a length of tubing under the raised portion of the cockpit
  seat (the
  edge near the middle of the cockpit) from front to back, supporting
  the
  tubing in the lazarrette and the companionway bulkhead? I have always
  been
  concerned by the sound emitted by the seats but never thought to add
  a
  support structure. The vertical columns that Roger added may
  interfere with
  access to the storage area under the seats while the front to back
  support
  would not.

  Just thinking out loud...
