Gregg, does not seem like anything is the same on the left and right hand side of boats. My V-153 seats were different. Paul had to mark all the wood on the seat bases to make sure. I bet the Glastron factory takes a stock seat base and conforms it to the boat configuration seat by seat. With the different stringers, depths of fiberglass coatings, different carpet depths, there is give and take. We think it is exacting from the factory. Bass and Walleye Boating magazine would test identical boats, but the weight would vary maybe 50 pounds from boat to boat.

Test fit seats today ...
Passenger side is almost perfect fit ... YAA !
Driver side is off, one inch shorter in center ... thought both sides were the same ... BUT NO ...  Have to cut a "Dip" into it some how ...
Ross did you leave your saw here .... I though not ...  DARN ...


No sorry it followed me home. Well you have your trusty hand saw. That should be fun.

Something does not add up. Mine were 100% the same on both sides. The cutout is on the upper part not the base of the seats..... Maybe the old one was modified. I don't see why an outboard version would be different either. Maybe I  just don't understand the problem.

That is really strange Gregg and makes no sense. seems like your floor would have to be uneven also.

I think it has more to do with how/where seats attachment bolts fit to deck, bolt slot's are lower on drivers side ?
Place where that part of base sit's is hull and not floor ...

Floor or not, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was uneven. I have the original floor in the V175 and there are seams and humps where the glass is thicker etc. Everything needs to be "custom"  :P
