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

what do you really need in there? a battery?

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.

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!

The battery is for the fish finder and bait tank only. I bought one of those battery box complete things from OEX. I would not want to suffer from the pained stares of the members of this forum if I was using a trolling motor on the high seas. haha

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.
