walleyedude, I made both a bench and two singles seats with a console. Like them both for different style of fishing. I used some aluminum angle iron so it's strong yet very light. Also used some left over bleacher seats for the bench. Made the back rest hing so it lays down flat when transporting. The bench seat has two runners on it so it sits on the "H" style supports and can be lifted off to get to the storage below.

Also you should do a search for "modifications". I think it was Hanson who had a little extra time on his hands and did a real nice job modifying his Otter.
