I need some info on my 97 29.5 scarab back seat. I don't know if it had 1/2 inch marine plywood or 1/4 inch. I have the vinyl pattern but the wood structure was completely rotted and fell apart when I removed it. Does anyone have info on that? Thanks

Probably 1/2". I would switch to PVC board

Does anyone have this boat and would be able to give me the measurements of the size of the wood that forms the seat? I have the vinyl pattern but the wood was so rotted that it fell apart when I took it out.

Thanks for that. I'm trying to find someone with the exact measurements of the seat, too.

Use the old foam and the witness marks in the hull as a guide.
