Well I finally got my Todd swingback chair!, I love it, it has a 17 gallon cooler. this picture is how I want to mount everything in the boat. the seat is a little short so fitting two peole it a little tight but I usually never do out with more than three adults and my 12 year old anyway. I like the swing back because while we are underway you can sit forward, and when we are trolling you can just flup the back reast and watch the poles, not to meantion having the cooler built in saves tons of space.

You guys would have a heart attack if you knew how much I paid for all of it...talk about thte deal of the century!:btu:

What model Grady? Will you have any fishing room?

What model Grady? Will you have any fishing room?

Ofcourse it does, I would not set it up this way otherwise, it's a 1979 180 sportman, I have 7 feet with an extra 2 feet of rail on either side of the swingback left to fish. I tube'n worm so all fishing happens off the transom. this all actualy takes of less "fishing space" then two back to back setups. The back to back have to be infront fo the helm so the driver can drive, this puts the back seat close to the rail, eliminating valuable rail fishing space. the swingback is centered in the middle of the deck avoiding that problem. Check out the draiwing I whipped up to show the layout

Nice setup. I didn't realize you had a dual console setup, I was thinking of a CC. I have a 99 Sportsman 180 (center console) that has the reversible helm bench seat and I love it. Its like a fighting chair and is particularly good for jigging with wire line and trolling.

Post some pix when you get it done.

Wow cool, you have the great grandson of my boat:D I will post up pics as soon as I get t all done, right now I had to rip out 6 feet of deck due to rotting, but it is almost finished and should look great. I plan on painting the hull next year. I love the todd chairs, they are so comfortable. Now all I need is a bimini to keep the sun from torching my ass hahah
