    Seating in cockpit 2320

    My crew are huge fans of putting Pro Pedestal's under the bench. I've done it on a 2120 and a 2320. It really softens the ride.

    2120 vs 23 pilot house

    Whatever model you choose, get the Seaspension pedestal. I can't imagine the ride without one. I also added Propedestals under the bench and this greatly improves the ride for the crew. I did this with both the 2120 and the 2320.

    2120 vs 23 pilot house

    I put together this comparison a couple of years ago when I was considering upgrading from a 2120 to a 2320. There is no comparison on deck space. My 2007 2120 did not have the livewell in front of the notched transom and a lot of water came over the notch, especially if you had 3-4 guys...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    I upgraded to a 2019 2320 last year. Just finished adding ProPedestals under the bench. This install was essentially the same as the 2120 I did previously, except that I used this project as an excuse to buy a welder and welded the frame to go under the seat. Test run last weekend got the...

    2320 Suspension Bench

    Nice install. I did the same to my 2120. I've just upgraded to a 2019 2320 and will see how she rides before ordering pedestals. I've been bleeding cash on electronics and the crew may just have to tough it out for this season.

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    Nice find on the deck rings. I think you'll be happy with the pedestals.

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    The bench cushions the ride pretty well with anywhere from one to three people. It definitely takes the bite out of the hard hits that used to punish the person sitting in the very front...... On a related note, I have a perfectly good 2120 bench seat base cabinet available if anyone needs...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    2120 bench seat ProPedestal installation post #4 The next step was to install the pedestals in the boat. After installing the pedestals I balanced the seat on the top plates and marked the locations of the seat mounting holes in the adapters. I drilled clearance holes and installed 5/16-18...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    2120 bench seat ProPedestal installation post #3 I used a leftover cardboard shipping tube to mock up the pedestals to determine where to position them, then the 4” diameter center holes for the pedestals were drilled using a hole saw. The area under the bench seat shelf is filled with foam...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    2120 bench seat ProPedestal installation post #2 I wasn’t sure what sort of structure was built into the Parker shelf under the bench seat. I spoke with a Parker dealer at a show and he said they have Parker embed metal plate built into the floor when they do a special order boat with a...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    2120 bench seat ProPedestal installation post #1 The bench seat itself has little structural support. It is intended to sit on top of the fiberglass base cabinet for support. I cut a sheet of ¾” plywood to go under the seat. I rounded the corners and radiused the edge all around with a...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    This is going to be a fairly lengthy post. I will add additional posts describing my installation. Last Spring I took my adult son and a buddy rock fishing in my 2007 2120SC. Seas were a little square on the way out and we took some pretty hard hits. I didn’t think it was all that bad...

    2018 2320 passenger seat options?

    Picture of bench on pedestals. I find the open space between the pedestals way more useful than the Parker cabinet was.

    2018 2320 passenger seat options?

    Best upgrade I have done to my 2120 is to put the bench seat on a pair or ProPedestal suspension pedestals. It frees up a lot of space under the bench and makes for a much better ride for the crew.
