Ranger factory said that it can't be done in any of the Ranger, Stratos or Triton models as the the deck is produced out of a mold as is the hull. They can't make a custom deck for a boat. If the seats do not come as an option Ranger can't do it. One can plug the live wells at the transom to prevent water entering from both the intakes and the overflows. The compartment will still get wet due to the lack of a watertight seal around the cover. In addition, since the decks come out of a mold, there probably is not enough decking material to mount a seat and have the same structural support as those that come standard. The deck will be thinner in areas not designed for seat posts. One may be able to reinforce the deck, but I have doubts about that.
