Thats about the size of it Mark.There are alot of advantages for me haveing seats on that are 'Matrixed' in.The large Ribcraft fitings are still Bonded into the deck,and fitted with large SS Bolts-Super strong,yet enable me to remove them easily.A pretty good idea when it comes to Rigging if you're my size! Pluss the rear bench can also be removed when not needed to give more deck space ect.
And IF I ever think about 'Ulman's' its an easy D.i.Y swap.
