I decided to add a new pedestal base to the floor of my Z-18. I think some might appreciate the insight. Took a little nerve to do this but I wanted a place to store my fishing seat pedestal in a place out of the way when not in use. This worked out well for my liking and was not difficult. Pics here to provide a little insight as to the floor board and space below it ...
While in storage, I remove my seat, lay it on its side and then put my cover on. This removes the slack from the cover which prevents sags and water pooling in the cover.
Seems like the easiest storage method possible!
