Nice looking V, and your other boat ain't bad either.

Randleman,
That V20 with 140 - 4 stroker has got to be a sweet setup!

Here are a few pictures of the bench seat that was in the boat when I bought it. Has anyone seen a bench seat like this. Still wondering if it might be a factory option. Seems pretty cool but takes up some space. I found the pins that hold the seat in place. They have compression type ball bearings that hold the pins in place (similar to a ratchet/socket) thru the bottom of the seat frame and into the mounting brackets.

Congrats and welcome to the site. I guess you already know about me...

I go to Acushnet often, my inlaws live on Mendon road and often bike ride through the area.

Welcome aboard inaforty. I have an 87 also and from what I can gather from other V owners I know and have seen, yours is the first I have seen with a bench seat like that. It may have been an option at one time, but I think it was added on by a previous owner.

If you look through the old brochures we have in the archives, there are a couple years where you can clearly see a bench seat so they must have been an option from the factory.

Here's one example;

Chum,
Thanks for finding that photo. I'm pretty sure that is the same seat that I have from what I can see of the chrome frame in the photo.
Our boat might have came with that seat of course that catalog is an 1989 and our boat is a 1987. Hmmmmmmmmm
