Has anyone out there installed a captains chair in a 13' sport? If so what brand and size did you go with. I have a 1967 sport and the console seems quite low to accommodate a high seat configuration. I'm a small guy so the seat can be compact. Also would using a super sport console help? Thanks terrymk

If you install a captains chair, do yourself a huge favor and mount it on the twart seat and not on the floor. There is no wood for mounting and the fiberglass is not strong enough to take the movement of the chair, that combined with the fact on a 13 your direct into the foam. If you would like to see a photo of a captains chair mounted on a 13 I can post one on my personal page. If you would like to see what a captains chair does to the fiberglass of a 13 look at my project album.
