Re: Split Seat
I cut the middle our of my 2 benches and left small pods on each side which I put seat mounts in. The pods also house my speakers, led lights, 12 volt outlets and switch panel. I ran lengths of angle aluminum from side to side to try to maintain some of the integrity and support that the seats gave my hull. Did away with all the foam. Hopefully I never need it.

Re: Split Seat
Yea i was thinking about supporting all the outer edge of each side with some angle aluminum and using it to house my battery and make a switch panel under my seat.

Re: Split Seat
I just posted pics in the speakers thread a few below this thread if you haven't seen em already check em out. Sounds like what I did is what you are looking to do.

Re: Split Seat
yes, it was very easy. Layed it out with a sharpie marker. drilled a couple start holes and used a jig saw. Made the bottom and end caps but I don't have access to alum welder so i paid a shop to do that.
I'll post another picture today of the other side....thats where my switch panel and rev limiter box is mounted
