Moving the Rowing seat

I need some expert advise again. I am going to put my rowing seat on rails and move it forward a bit. this is scary stuff for a rookie, I could use some advise on building the new rail system and how or what to attach it to. Is there a trick to getting the rails parallel so the seat slides? Is there a pattern for the supports for the rails?

thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

The short answer to your question is yes. Pictures will help and I will find some for you or you can swing by and look at our boats. We just today finished a big boat that will be floating the Snake tomorrow and there are sliding seats front and back.
I'll take some picture of the maiden voyage and be sure to get some detail shots of the parallel rail sytem.

Thanks AJ, I should just come over and do some drawings and make some measurements, maybe sometime this week.
I appreciate your willingness in helping me.
