Re: Bow seat rebuild
I built the whole set up out of 3/4 plywood. Then covered it with indoor/outdoor carpet (glue it down in the field, then staple it in all the hidden ares for best results)
I made the tops removable to get to the storage space. I always thought the cut outs in the original were way to small to be useful.
I hope you have the original parts to use as a pattern, I did and it saved me sooooo much time, I just duplicated what was there before.
The small support piece (the part above the seat that gives the top deck it's strength) was rotted on my boat so I had to replace that. It was not real easy to do, I had to remove the rub-rail, drill out a bunch of rivets to get the top deck section off, but in the end it was necessary, and worth the effort.
Looks great, nice work.
Whats the scoop thing on your boat?
It's my horn. Kinda funky looking, isn't it?
