    Even at my age I can hop in and out of that drivers seat easily. I kind of get stuck in a bucket.

    Another thought, watch the height of the bases. I'll measure mine if you like. The 18 is so low profile that it takes a fairly short base.

    Mark,

    You really need to get in touch with Bob, and go for an inspection trip. Bring your camera and video camera too. The rear seats are mounted on polished stainless hinges, that ran remove the pin to take out the rear seats. They flip forward to access the rear. The two seats in front are on sliders that are extremely low profile, even lower than the one you posted from overtons. They were bolted with nylock nuts to the floor. I didi not want to use lag bolts. I would stay away from the fiberglass bases if I were you. The base needs to be a low as possible due to the low profile of the 18. Is your floor gonna have a "well" in front for your legs, or is it staight all the way to the bow? That plays a major factor also.
