Hey there...
I'm trying to set up a program boat as a triple saddle set up. We have a Caption and 3 NRS foam pedastals.
Anyone have pics? Dimmensions and/or tips on how to outfit this thing?
It will be used by many different folks. Thanks Nate.

With separate saddles, you'll have to get strips like these:

Mohawk's triple saddle would be easier to install, but not as comfortable, see:

I definitely recommend the 2 movable saddles compared to a big, permanent 3-position saddle.
I used the attachement strips from NorthWater. No problems.
The main pains to figure out were:
Where anchors and saddles were going to overlap, I used single d-ring anchors for thigh straps and carved cavities for them in the bottoms of the saddles.
I prefer toe blocks, which was possible in the stern position, but used foot braces for the bow/solo saddle.
Other things overlap too, like bow feet and solo knees, but that was.
Just figure out where you want your 3 positions, and start figurin' the details. It does fit. And it gives maximum flexibility for a 14' boat - tandem with any trim, true ww solo, ww tripping solo, all without unnecessary outfitting when you don't need it.
I meant to take more photos and write it up for Rapid mag, but I never got around to it.
Good luck, PY.
