[Rhodes22-list] re inforcing seats

Mike, Without looking, I think there is a bulkhead which supports the
aft end of the cockpit floor just forward of the laz forward wall (about
42" forward of the transom). A post or plywood support directly above
that bulkhead would be more than sufficient to handle the load.

Todd,
Yes, I had thought about the problem of where to secure the aft
support. My
first thought is to use a 2' x 2' (or whatever fits) piece of 3/4"
marine
ply bonded to the inside of the laz partition to spread out the load.
I
already have a piece of plywood on each side to provide structure to
secure
my laz storage system to. A second thought would be to place a
support
column at the rear of the cockpit to the floor, but there is little
or no
support structure (in my '81) under the rear cockpit floor/gutter
area. In
either design, something would need to be added for support so I
would
rather hide it in the laz where it can also serve multiple functions.
