Michael,
The good news is most people want to go from Fish Box Cover to Seat, so there has to be one out there you can swap with.
I would also call Tiara Dealers in your area to see if they have run across a 35 ower that is looking to replace their cover with a seat.
My very good friends owned a 35 Open (they currently have a 38 Open) and we fished that boat throughout the Florida Keys and Bahamas with the Bench Seat in place. We used a large igloo cooler as a fish box. We caught Dolphin(mahi), Whahoo, Sailfish, Grouper, Snapper and Tuna. The seat did not hinder our ability to fish the boat. We used the fish box below the seat for storage. It was nice using a large cooler as the fish box. When we pulled into the dock, we would carry the cooler down to the cleaning station. It was easier clean up than using the fish box on board.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
