CB Seating conversion

[Jlow49]

Here's one for you. We are happy owners of a 2015 31CB (with a hardtop). I'd love to change the topside seating configuration from its original starboard facing aft seat (2-person) to the fore-aft (4-person) arrangement seen in subsequent models. Has anyone done this conversion? If so, tips? Thanks.

I also have a 2015 R-31 CB with just the one double bench seat. I want to add the two additional seats and table like on the 2016+ R-31 CBs. I went to the Anacortes boat show and talked to one of the ranger guys who was manning the new 31 CB. I asked him about it, and he said it should work as long as the seats are through bolted into the roof and then some sort of rigid backing board is used to have the through bolts pass through. My only concern is the aft most seat, i'm not sure if I would put a bench on the blue overhang, seems like it may not have the strength to hold a few hundred pounds.
