Seat boxes with storage

[Wood Zeppelin]

A 16’ cruiser has seats mounted on a fiberglass “box”, with an opening for storage. A 16 foot angler, the 19 foot and maybe the 22’ angler as well, have seats mounted on pedestals. I have seen a 16 foot Angler on here that has the seat boxes instead of the pedestals!

Does any one know if the seat boxes were “options“ or used on some years and not others?

If I wanted to switch from pedestals to seat boxes with storage, are they available from the factory or somewhere else?

Thanks!
