So far:
1. removed the complete seat / track unit from the boat
2. removed vinyl seats, foam, and wood.
3. traced out new wood parts, coated, thoroughly cleaned the vinyl - had heavy mold
build up on the inside, but still in great shape otherwise. Painted wood sections.
All dry and ready to assemble now.........

After all that hard work, make sure to use stainless steel or monel staples to put the vinyl back on. Regular staples would rust real quickly and make a mess of your job.

Spoke with Veada, but 2 month lead time too much to deal with............

Went with the WISE premium bucket seat - brite white with navy top and center area.
Ordered from Overton's. Lead time approx. 15 days.

Decided this might work out best since the port passenger has a more comfortable seat.
Something about driving and having the steering wheel to hold onto......always more comfortable than the passenger -- even though there is the handle on the port dash section.

Then plan is to use either store bought white cushions behind the two seats - one to fit over the live well, the other over the back end of the fish box. OR........custom cushions with navy piping color trim so it looks " custom" .......

Finally ....... I installed a nice port side seat up front.

Next are custom cushions to fit in behind the seats- one over the live well cover, and one over the fish box. Setting them up so the lids can open without removing the cushions.

Then, I'll take some pics and post.
