Very cool to see pictures of what a "tinkerer" has accomplished or taken on!
I am such a person. Many call it "handy", that fits for a title too.
tubedude, do you have the seat width of your most current Fat Cat? And or measurements of past Fat Cat or Fish Cat float tubes?
I am curious how much wider my seat is than the seat of a more current model? For a 17 3/4" wide seat foam to fit tightly in the seat box, the seat width should be no more than 17 3/8?
As mentioned, the seat surface measurement of mine is 19" exactly. Thus the 19 3/8" seat foam width fit very snug, as it should, not overly so. I have achieved that same snug fit. By using the 17 3/4" width, with one 1" x 4 1/8" x 19 1/2" boogie board shim on each side of the seat foam.
