knobby, they make a clamp like devise that your seats bolt to and then it uses two long bolts underneath to clamp it to the bench seats on the jon boat.<br /><br />I have a 14' and I have them on mine.<br /><br />The clamp part is encased in rubber so it won't slip.<br /><br />It has the pedestal that your seat mounts to just like any other.<br /><br />If I am not mistaken, I got mine at wal-mart.

I picked up some spring loaded mounts that clamp on w/o extra hardware a few years ago at Gander Mountain that work great on the duck boat. Aluminum carriage with heavy springs and like SBN's are rubber/vinyl coated on the contact surfaces to prevent slippage. Easy on - easy off for storage or docking for the night. My brother and I installed them in the parking lot in about 15 min. - bolt the seats to them and clamp them on. One of the best impulse buys of my life.
