 Anyone removed the middle seat and made a step? Reply  Edit


Fixing to get to planning my project for this winter...I want to remove the middle seat, and have a carpeted step or glove box type deal that flips up to still allow access to the under seat cooler. Anyone done this?

I found the best way to do it is get a tin shop to shape a rectangular lid. Drill hole for the southco latch. Carpet it. Then add one of those badass Legend carpet stickers. I'm currently working on mine right now. Will not have pics for another month or so when I pull the boat out of storage.

well get with it boys, I been wantin to do the same, but I want to make it AC/DC ---- seat in for the grandson / seat out otherwise. Therefore, some kind of pin disconnects so you ain't removing /replacing hinge screws everytime.

Did anyone ask Legend to come up with something? I would be interested also.

So is this going to work out to be an actual box with a lid to store things in or just a lide to go over the cooler?

Mike- Come to think about it, I vaguely remember seeing someone have a set up like youre talking about on the boards here somewhere. Might have to do some searchin

I'm just adding a lid till Legend eventually comes out with the glovebox/lid cover. It may be in the works for a while till all the 191 stuff is over.

Good deal...I'll probably do the same. With the seat removed, that place is perfect for a co-angler to keep his gear so its not on the floor

I worked with Legend to get a wider, removable middle seat with a replacement center step. Send me an email at jhharm@swbell.net and I'll send you the pictures. I cannot seem to get them posted in my reply.
