That is sacrilege where you live... :-/ Esp. since I'm a closet neers fan...

No worse than that ugly azz gold fleur de lis on your motor.

Brent, Bobby...there's room for more! ;D

Nah, you gotta go with Wishbone!

USF and BC... ;D

I was hoping and praying that the game wouldn't get to OT as I just knew that UK would take it. Not that I'm a big LSU fan, but now we'll have to hear about how great the Suckeyes are. Oh well, it's Bama week. And everyone knows what that means... BUCK FAMA!!!!

It's not a tumah!!! I think of that line every time I hear that word.

Mickey, why would I need a whole box if that was my purpose. 8-) ;D

I see what you're saying. Never had that problem. Just a matter of using the right tool for the job. Good luck and have fun with the money pit...

;D ;D ;D Yeah, and there aren't any hippies in San Francisco.

Wow! See how things work (don't work)? I didn't get it either. Burley...+1 8-) Humph...city slickers There, in a nutshell, is the reason you will always have conflict when dealing with this format. The written word is not the best conveyance for sarcasm, dry wit, or pithy remarks. Which isn't a good thing for me since that's all I've got... :-X

No, I said I would blow off steam by going to a dump or a corn crib and commencing a rat holocaust. :-/

Aye, I meant to mention that but it slipped my mind. Would just need to attach the swivel to the pedestal with some small bolts.

It ain't you,....have you seen your old avatar??? You may wanna skip the sticker and go right for the banner,lol. ;D 8-) I don't know, she loved me just as much when I was fishing Zebco's. 8-) BTW, stickers showed up yesterday. Not in the best of shape either. Almost like the guy (a semi-famous fishing personality) had these things stuffed in a wet box. Wish Dave would have had his stickers before I did the eBay thing. :-/ Anywho, tomorrow is D-Day. The big one is going on the back of the Blazer. 8-)

Good old fashioned hissy fit arguments. That or a case of 22LR, a spotlight and a trash dump. That ain't going to happen here. You gotta find somwhere else for that. : ........

I don't exactly understand the question, but I'll try to explain. Base plate has four countersunk mounting holes. I used 4" flat head sheet metal screws, attaching the base plate to the boat seat. Seats were just thin aluminum, but the screws held for the year I had the boat. The swivel (second item in Zel's photo) screws into the bottom of the folding seat. The lower half of the swivel then slides into the base plate. The base is solid with a lip around the inner square (so to speak). That lip holds the swivel. There is a lever in the front of the base plate that depresses when you insert the swivel/seat into the base. That is what keeps the seat/swivel in place when in use. To remove the seat, you just lift the lever and slide the seat/swivel out. The key is finding a swivel and a base that match up. I got my first base at Wal Mart, they sold out and I had to get one at Bass Pro. The BPS model was a little more sturdy, but had a bit more slop in it. That little jon was about as stable as a wash tub, but those seats made fishing all day bearable.

Wish I had a better photo, but here is the system I used with my old jon. The black base mounts to the boat seat with four screws. You attach the swivel plate to the bottom of the seat, then the swivel plate slides into the base and it locks into place. Easily removable as well. I tried the clamp that Zel pictured but my boat seats were too wide. One thing about it, there are a 100 different ways to do it. If the jon you're getting is narrow, (and unless you're a waif like Russ), having elevated pedestals might lead to some stability problems.

Where's a runaway comet when you need it?

It's the internet. Disagreement is part of the deal. Topical forums like this one bring many people with a common interest together. It also creates a lot of people who like to think they know everything about everything. Forums such as this one will see people who have a huge ego and think entirely too much of themselves. Many many internet experts out there. Some people have thin skins and look for reasons to be offended. Some have no sense of humor. Some just don't have a clue. IMO, one of the main problems here is that you can't blow off steam. At least not here. Get it out in the open. If your poor little feelings get hurt, tough. It's the internet for crying out loud. If you take this stuff so d**n seriously that you're leaving just because someone was 'mean', then perhaps you should look for another way to pass your time. Probably not what you were looking for Russ, but it needed to come out. Delete if necessary. Would it be nice if everyone got along? :-/ I've been on forums where everyone was of the same mind. Those forums aren't in existence any longer. I'd say some probably think me an ******* and that's fine with me. I don't pull any punches and I say what is on my mind when it is on my mind. And in the words of Frank Costanza, I've got a lot of problems with you people. But you know what, it's no big deal. If you've got a problem with me, send me a PM ( : ) and we'll work it out. Hell, ask for my phone number and we'll talk it out. :-X

Perhaps you should superglue it to the side of your head... How on earth do you lose a phone???

Much ado about nothing. I guess these Richmond 'journalists' ran out of Broad St. crimes to cover...

You should watch Deadwood.
