This Do-It-Yourself Swivel Fishing Seat Platform for KaBoats and Inflatable Kayaks provides comfortable seating for real anglers for hours of fishing, or for anyone who wish to have nice back support. Rod-holders can be conveniently attached directly to aluminum surface of the platform along with depth and fish finders, GPS, light poles, umbrella shade mounts, etc.
The best feature of this swivel seat platform is that you can quickly drop it in or take it out of any inflatable kayak or KaBoat. All you need is 2 aluminum benches, swivel platform, short pedestal, and quick disconnect along with a folding fishing seat of your choice. All these parts are sold in most outdoor, marine stores and on-line.
Same type of platform can be modified to be dropped into any type of inflatable boat, raft, dinghy, tender or runabout motor boat for more comfortable ride while operating outboard motor.

You provide no dimensions for any of the materials. Nor do you discuss the best way to drill holes in the aluminum. Interesting idea, but without the detail it is totally useless.
Do the seats included provide any lateral support or is okay to remove them when you put a seat like this in? thanks, have the same boat
i like that vid and i have the same kayak. i've been thinking about adding seats and your vid is interesting but i cant help but think that once its on the water and you are sitting down on the seat that the seat will be pushed an inch or more downward. once that occurs the seat will no longer pivot as it will be resting on the tubes. has this been your experience? thx.
