New Owner of a 1956 Utility Sportsman.....have interior questions

[Greg Spreeman]

The boat seems to be fine mechanically but, the wood needs to be redone and the interior. Neither the front or the back seat bottoms came with the boat. She rode hard and put up went a long time ago. The seat bottoms for the front and the back look to be rectangular. What are the dimensions of the front and back seat bottoms? Thanks in advance.

You will have to measure what you have

I would just go out with my tape measure and measure away but, I picked up the boat, pulled it into my garage and drove a little over 5 hours to our actual house. Would love to make the bench seats here at home so they are ready to use when I go back to the vacation house where the boat is.

They will have to be custom designed and built, you may find pictures but not dimensions of seating.

I do woodworking and upholstery. That isn't the problem. I just need to know that the back bench is xxxxx inches wide by xxxx inches deep and the same for the front bench. I can do all the rest in my sleep.

Well dream on it because you will figuring that out unless you find another person with the same boat with the original benches.

Would be faster to drive the 5 hours to get the measurements, or phone a neighbor. As indicated, unless someone has the exact boat

Has to be a club of similar boat owners, heck they probably have a forum.

Right? We aren't talking about the most limited production model of Chris-Craft.

Facebook, Chris Craft owners or something like that ( may have specific model groups as well ) is where I would start
