Bow Pedestal/Chair solution

[JASmith]

I've been pondering for quite a while what the best solution is for fishing from the bow. Having grown up fishing from Pontoons and Lund/Crestliner style boats there is always a good ability to fish from the front of the boat, and the style I liked the most in the past, was how many boats have a swivel chair in the bow, where you have your trolling motor foot pedal setup. I don't currently have the bow insert, so I'm not sure what the full structural strength of that would be, but I doubt it would be rigid or strong enough to mount a typical pedestal on like in this image.



I'd love to come up with a solution. Have any of you other over-thinkers pondered this type of situation yet?

The 2016 fsh190 I have came with the bow pedestal chair installed. I've never used it and actually sold the chair. The support is still mounted. If you need pics let me know. I'm sure the setup is different so may not be applicable.

Yeah I have a 210 so the bow is very different. I wish it were that simple! The 190 is clearly made to match the feature I’m talking about… I’m trying to shoehorn it into a 210.
