Default Fighting chairs

I am remodeling a 1976 Trojan 36 sportfisher. The cockpit is not large enough for a chair and multiple anglers. I am wondering if there is some sort of harness system that could be used with a smaller chair. If you have any information, it would be greatly appreciated.

The Sampson post is pretty cool, Ive seen it on a few boats up here. You can go with that or small "sailfish" type chairs maybe?

Go to nauticaldesign.com. They have a rocket launcher that has a gimbal and is height-adjustable. I considered it when I had a 30 ft outboard. They also make a chair with knock-down settings, etc. that make it space efficient. I have one of their chairs and love it. As good or better in quality than the big names (all 316 stainless, no dissimilar metals) and THOUSANDS cheaper.
