Rebuilding the fold down back to back seat

[bgreene]

Anyone rebuild the standard equipment port side back to back seating ?

I see Wellcraft used plywood for backing construction.........really skimped on the materials for this piece. So the backing is worn out / rotten.

I figure I can just :
1. remove the seat cushions from the old rotten wood.
2. trace out the original backing pieces for size
3. create new backing with either marine plywood, starboard, or other material.
4. re assemble onto the original aluminum support assembly......

OR

Eliminate the original seating, support assembly and all.........and bolt on a new back to back seat, white to match up nicely vs original.

Experienced opinions appreciated.
