I bought a used jon boat whose previous owner added two nice swivel seats.
He bolted some metal brackets on each side of the boat, above the bench seats. The brackets are similar to the drop down brackets that some canoe seats use.
He then bolted a solid board, either 2x10 or 2x12 , into the brackets.
A nice padded swivel seat is bolted onto each board. You sit relatively high in the boat, well above the benches. Very comfortable. I would take pictures and post them, but the boat is stored 440 miles aways and I won't be there until May. I am thinking about adding the third seat in the middle.
