can you start with the old seats as a pattern? or are they gone. as far as the front, I have a friend to ask, but it may need to be exact to your boat, as it has been cut from a non open boat. but I,ll ask.

The original seats are gone.They were rotted from sitting out in the weather.I bought the boat that way and have no idea what the the stock ones even looked like.I'm working with quite a bit of room for the seats.The inside of the boat is around 72" side to side.Its sorta like a mini daycrusier,with out the big crawl space.The boat pictured above is what it looks like,just in project form.Thanks for looking into this.

My open bow is all molded into the deck so I just have cushions that are the same shape as the fiberglass. So I'm not much help there.

If your bow is cut into an open bow are you glassing in the opening and reinforcing it?

Well that makes a whole lot of sense.So they take the shell all the way down to the floor with glass.Good thing you showed me that because I had some other jankey stuff on my mind

. Would have came out alot worse until it was covered by the seats.Well ,if you guys have more to offer I will surely take the info or pics.thanks again

talked to a buddy in havasu he has no patterns on seats, all he does is re cover what you have. and you have nothin. but glassing the bow looks like the ticket. slow to get back.
