It should be stronger this was and in a much better position to take full advanatage of your spread. You would also enjoy your floor space in the boat.
I don't have experience with seat base mounting but it seems like it could present some challenges for a number of reasons.

This is all true and makes sense. My problem is that I will use them probably less than half the time on the boat and is why I want them removable. The space they will take up in the boat I will be able to deal with as it won't be very often. Mounting them properly to the gunwale would look neat and clean but was worrying about resale and having 8 bolt holes in the boat. Using the seat base does still worry me a little. Maybe I gotta suck it up and bolt them in....or go back to a 2x6 plank and run it across.
