Opened her up !!
 

Took the tarp off and put on the repaired canvas enclosure this weekend. I love it. Heres some pictures. Picked her up last October but had to get her winterized and covered up before getting any pictures. Plan on bottom paint, new rod holders, two rear jump seats for the family, electronic ignition, and splash. Shes got the alternator conversion for the 470 already setup, new heat exchanger, bunch of new items put in by prior owner last spring. ;D ;D

What kind of seats do you have in mind? Something that folds up/down? I was considering something but I'm not sure what to get. If you have an idea maybe post a link or something....thanks.

Looks good...

I have 2 small coolers that fit perfect in that area. Make great seats with PFD coushion, and a place to keep the drinks! ;)

If you want to know what size I will go look.

Hey Reg, If you ever consider changing the seat cushion on your helm chair, keep me in mind. I'd love to have the old one. I have a second pedastal seat in place of the original lounge and I would love to have the matching cushions.

I was considering putting some Wise jump seats in. they have a plastic base. I was going to fabrcate`a way for the water to run to the flor drains. MJ i like your idea if i didnt have to worry about comfort for the wife i'd go you route.

Re: Opened her up !!
 

I have the jump seats on either side of the motor too. When I go out alone I remove'm. More room to fish.
What I want is anutter fold down seat to replace the captains chair.

Re: Opened her up !!
 

Reg, The boxes under my jump seats are made of wood and when the day comes that I replace them I will go plastic. I have never had a problem with the seats blocking the drains. The backrest tilts back slightly and keeps the base of the seat foward of the drains. With the space along either side of the base as well as the waters ability to seep under the seat base (this is why plastic is the way to go) drainage has never been a problem.

Re: Opened her up !!
 

Thats what I just got ;) But they not going to fit in that space?

Re: Opened her up !!
 

I got em too, but MJ is right they dont fit there :'(

Re: Opened her up !!
 

Rats... :-/ ...

Re: Opened her up !!
 

She's a 89. I like those fold away seats but they take up alot of the walkaround room. You could only fit around two seats which is not enough for me.

Re: Opened her up !!
 

Nice V. ;D So who was walking on the hatch cover. Seen the corner broken on both side. I like the back to back seat, but could never figure out why they sit so low to the floor. Wish they were taller. Were ya located at.

Re: Opened her up !!
 

where did you get those Rick? and are they removable?

Re: Opened her up !!
 

Sorry I'm a little slow on the response.

They were on the boat when I bought it. *Nothing special, just a jump seat sitting on a wooden box. *They can be moved, they are not secured to the boat.

Also, The original lounge was a few inches taller, *the bottom cushion was about even with the top of the rod box and the cushions had black, blue and gray stripes like the helm seat. See my gallery (page 4) for a picture of the original helm seat.
