It appears that the compartments are built into the boat? So I can get some Bass Cat seats and prob put it back to normal. I haven’t had time to take the seats out but from what I can tell The previous owner bolted a 2×12 in and screwed the seats to it. I’m kind of thinking that when I pull this board those compartment will be there, if so I need to change my ad to ISO Bass Cat seats. LoL
