My wood/canvas canoe front seat (from which I solo paddle), was hung from the inner gunwale via bronze carriage bolts through 1/2" copper tubes to the seat frame. It seemed like it could use an upgrade so I used some scrap cherry from my inventory and made a couple of trusses. Seems much more solid now!

Nothing like truss drops to add lateral rigidity, especially on a wide center seat.
