Hey guys, I'm doing some work and wanted to get my seat bases under the carpet. I have trouble with my knees and would love to get any hard surface that doesn't have to be there off the deck. 

 

I know boats have them like this but I've never looked at one close. Just curious if you guys happen to know if they top mount them and then put carpet over them or if they bottom mount them under the plywood? Or maybe they top Mount them and inset and route them into the ply? There's lots of ways you can get it done, I'm just trying to see what the common thing is.

Mine is under the carpet.

If you pad your deck you could probably have flush mount without the router.

Cool, on yours. Is it just cut around the hole or did they tuck it somehow?

It is cut around the hole.

Thank you
