This question is probably better on a boat forum but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here. After a year of indecision I cashed in my quarters and dimes and I bought this boat in a 12ft for shallow water use. It's an Alumacraft 12-36 jon.

I would like to install some light fold down seats. Not sure what mounts to use. I am sure the sheet metal is too thin for a traditional 7-8" diameter mounts. Screws are going to tear out eventually. Anyone have experience with any of the other style mounts? I could lay 3/4 marine plywood across the seats first but that is going to add significant weight. Something I would really like to avoid. Right now the boat weighs <150# with a small outboard.
