another question for Art....what are the chances for making seats for our X's? I would imagine the market would be good for a limited run. I just don't see spending the big dollars the other place is charging...and sorry to jump the thread, the question just kinda popped into my head...
How does the collective group feel about the "Much simpler Bluewater Yachts Stern rail seat installation" method using toggler bolts, outlined in the Mod section?

dont like it. installed the seats on our M, following the directions to the letter.. piece of cake, solid, durable.
I'll be sure and post if there are any problems with the install that develop. It's extremely solid, and with three togglers behind the two main rails with four contact points each, the load is fairly well spread and there's no chance that a bolt failing is going to cause the seat to fail.

But if a problem ever does develop, I'll post it.
I am sure it will work fine. I just don't think it is the best practice, but should work well. I just didn't find any engineering flaws with bwy's directions.
No doubt many of the mods I have done others would have done differently.
This lets the lifelines drop away from the spreaders when you're raising and lowering the mast. I used a lifeline clamp and turnbuckles, but I will eventually have new swaged lifelines made.
So maybe if you hurry and talk real nice
