With almost 10,000 members on this site, I would think there would be a lot more people posting. If you have a Whaler, or want a Whaler, I`m sure you can think of some questions to ask, or offer some help to others. It seems that the same 50-100 members, do all the posting over and over again. I know some people prefer to just lurk, but that doesn`t help this website grow.
Get involved.

Rich,
Are you trying to tell me to shut up, in a nice sort of way 
I assume that the other 9,400+ people are out using their whalers and sitting in front of the computer.

Absolutly right Binkie.
These forums are only as good as the people who post to them.
In that vain, here's a question for those with '80's era Outrage 18's.
I purchased a stern seat for my 89 Outrage 18 from Specialty Marine.
The seat is excellent quality, but it did not come with any mounting instructions, or locations to mount this seat.
Now, i have seen the wood locating diagrams shown on this sight, but they are not very clear/legible.
Is there anyone that has a stern seat, that can give me some guidance at to where to mount this? Dimensions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for the help
Cheers

Elmroc,
in the downloads section there is the instruction sheet for installing the OEM wrap around stern seat.
Tilt your engine all the way up and mount the stern seat as far back as you can but still allow the engine to fully tilt up. I also raised mine up 2 inches to gain more storage under the stern seat, and as a result I did not actually screw the seat into the deck. It is heavy enough and stays down with just the back support bar. If you do not raise your seat so you have the OEM legs directly on the non-skid with no padding you may not want to leave it loose, in the event it damages the non-skid should it move.

Kamie,
I like the idea of not screwing it to the floor. This seat is more or less for the comfort of wife and kids, but woul dget in the way of fishing, so a temporart mount would be ideal Did you raise it up with just some marine plywood? I could mount the Metal mounts to blocks of wood, then just sit those on the deck, and use the back rail to secure it?

so as not to clutter up Rich's post with too much posting and also to make this easier to search for, how about you start a post on installation of a stern seat.

Kamie, You seem to be able to keep about 100 post lead without frivolous posts, but I predict Casco Bay Outrage will catch you in about a year at about 1200 posts.
Maybe I`ll try using my Whaler once in a while, instead of just sitting here in my comfortable chair. LOL

I think I need to follow the same advice. Too bad the whaler is 100 miles away, it's been nice in the evenings, would have been great to take a cruse.

Some of us have full time jobs and then come home and work on whalers. Don't have time for the post of the year award.

I've worked very hard, lately, to get to the bottom of the most-frequent-posters list! Once I drop off, maybe I'll take another run at it.

We can remove that feature if no one wants it.
Entirely up to the members here.
The posts will always show under the user information so there really isn't a need for the "Top Posters.
Look under my avatar to the left or any of the poster on any page. The amount of posts show up.
Do you want the "Top Posters" feature removed?
What say you all?

Dan,
I has been a while...did you ever finish the 16?
Binkie (Rich),
Thanks for the words of encouragement. The site is nothing with out members participating. However, like every site I belong to there are those members you see way more than others.
Joe,
Seeing how I am an administrator and not included in the famed "Top posters list" :P I have no personal attachment to it. I think it is something for everyone else and I do not see it being such a bad thing. I would keep it.

Joe, don't remove it!! It's kind of like a "Top poster dog" award or something...creates a little competition amongst us...lol.
I like the feature!

No kidding John, we haven't heard from him since last summer.....he posted a lot of things here. Also...haven't heard much about his 17'.....I know he was in the middle of a major restoration.
How's that 17 coming along DD?
