A system for a boat, the system comprising:
- a pair of seat rails configured to simultaneously couple the seat to a floor of the boat in any one of multiple positions in a longitudinal direction of the seat rails, the seat rails being parallel to each other when the seat is coupled to the floor, each seat rail of the pair of seat rails comprising:
- a rail member configured to be mounted to one of the seat and the floor;
- and
- rail blocks configured to be secured to the other of the seat and the floor and defining a rail cavity sized to slidably receive the rail member;
- wherein each of a slide portion of the rail member and the rail cavity of the rail blocks is at least in part circular in cross-section.
