Back in early spring right before my back surgery I had ordered a sliding pedestal seat from Wenonah. It came in while I was laid up and not moving very fast so it sat for a good long while before I was able to get to installing it in the Lettman aka the Caddy. Without going into the story too far the end results were the seat was to narrow and sat just off set of the two glassed in keelson's in the bottom of the boat. I figured it was too late to send it back and went with a cob artestry attachment which ended up the seat putting me to high up and the back band I use became useless.
Since it's glassed in I need to cut the verticals in the seat, then cut a little more off and put an aluminum insert in to tie the two back together, I may braze them back together if I have the balls to give that a try. I have about 3 1/2" on the vertical to play with for the cut. I am thinking about using a hacksaw blade but am worried about the cut "wandering". Was wondering if anyone who's worked with metal had any thoughts about this project?
