going to be tricky then to find space to mount the stand.
the F200 fuel hatch especially opens on the sides so you can check/change your fuel while fighting a fish on the chair.

Here is a pic of where the chair mounting is that Z-craft fitted, the bracket and everything is there, just need a chair to drop in.

Mike, Why do you want to specifically have a moulded glass chair. A decent teak seat nicely sealed (splinters in the crack whilst hooked up could be over rated) is how they were made for years, and can look classy. Pretty easy to make out of wood as well, no fancy glass work, gel coats etc.

I am not set on a glass seat, the main thing is the mechanics of the frame that I need to find out.

Essentially they are pretty basic, really. The Back rest are purely for show and for those long trolling hours should someone want to sit in the chair, it must be able to swivel 360 and lock into position for travelling and must have an adjustable footrest that locks into position hard, thats it basically.

Yes, but what about the correct angles etc.
