I've got a 2019 210 FSH and store it in my garage. I am having a custom t top that folds built but was wondering if anyone had any ideas on making the back rest removable, foldable or something so that I can fit the boat in the garage without unbolting it each time. I've seen a few Skeeter boats that have a removable backrest that slides right down into rod holders. If anyone has approached tackling this, let me know what you've done.

Adjustable/removable by nature means less secure, the leaning pos
