2003 elite V Driver seat removal also Foot kickboard removal

Conrad86 · June 30, 2020

I have a 2003 elite V air warrior that no matter what I try I cannot remove the drivers seat the seat doesn’t go far enough back to expose bolts or far enough forward to expose bolts it almost looks like they put it together and then finish the fiberglass work Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I’ve looked through the forums and everyone that I’ve seen on here is different than what I’ve got going on. I hope I’m just dumb and missing something simple which is totally possible.

There’s also a foot rest just underneath the dash that comes about 3/4 across the opening for your legs it looks to be molded into the boat my question is can I cut that out without screwing up the structural integrity of the boat because it looks like it’s mold it into the bulkhead. I just can’t see them making a design like this but when I call Centurion directly they are absolutely no help they don’t even have the old schematics on a boat they originally designed and produced.

I understand the boat is 17 years old but a situation like this when I go to buy a new boat which is going to happen in 2022 season it’s gonna make me not want to look at centurion even though I like the Ri237. Anyways that’s a conversation for another topic I’m just frustrated at this point I’ll try to get some pictures up shortly. Again any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated

Can you unmount the seat from the bottom (i.e., remove the seat and leave the mount in the boat)?

Search these forums for the bulkhead question, back in the 2000's, there were lots of folks doing mods to the area for subs, etc. There should be pictures and discussion on it if you use the search.
