Looking for ideas on the best way to mount a pedestal seat on a skiff
type boat that is foam filled. The fiberglass floor is rather thin and I’m afraid if I just screw it to the floor the screws will pull loose…
I’ve used these before.

Stainless steel Never-Drop toggle anchors. Part # 98184A413
After you drill for the toggles, use an allen wrench in your drill to clear out the foam below the deck. Be sure to use some 5200 Marine sealant around the base.

You maybe could, epoxy a large piece of sheet plastic or fiber glass material, with bolts coming thru that match the pedestal! If you get a large enough piece, that will allow for a lot of adhesion area. Just a thought and don’t know if it will work on your particular deck.
