You have a hatch in front of you still. If it comes down to it, just Unclip a strap and get what you need.

well if you get another seat with the straps out further they cover the rod holders...

You know, that makes too much sense. You might have saved the day. I kicked that idea around with Brian at OEX and then thought I could use it as a fish hold for crappie. But I really want to keep the seat and I can find other places to stick the fish.

Thanks for helping me think out of the box. The replies are awesome and this boy is learning.

Yup perfect place to put a trolling motor battery storage wise and weight distribution wise assuming your turning the front hatch into a bait tank. Than you will have a nice forward bait tank and a trolling motor to do circles around hobies while maintaining a low center of gravity!

I wish that chair could be sold. But it is my father-in-laws and it stays with us for some reason.

You are looking at a 2013 X Factor that has never touched the water. My wife put my PFD under the Christmas tree. Waiting anxiously to get out.
