Wecome to iBoats! Hammyloz!<br /><br />You can glue a piece of wood to the bottom inside of the boat and then mount seats to that.

I am also very much a begginer and in UK, if Hammyloz goes to his local Chandler he will get a free booklet from West Systems (EPOXY) which is very good at explaining what every item is best suited for and when it should be used, there is also a fine publication called Hull and Deck Repair, by Don Casey, but the best is this site! full of experts in every field!
