More front seat questions.........

[nipper]

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.

Deeper into it.......... reverse direction..........ordered what should be a very cool port side seat and going with color coordinated seat cushions. Won't that look nice.

[nipper]

Did you order from Veada?

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.

I remember reading you returned the ones from Overtons....where did you get the ones you settled on?

Mr. Krinkle suggests to add "glo sticks", it would make nice nite time lighting to the seat.

I went with the Todd Brand Seat - Model Cape Cod 1000.
First tried the swivel base, but even the lowest pedestal at 6" was too high.
I bolted it to the fish box - in front of the fish box access of course.
It's a comfortable seat with arm rests which is nice for passenger because they don't have a steering wheel to hold onto like the driver does.

The seat I returned was a Wise Brand........looked good on the web site but I found it small and uncomfortable.

Now I'm going with custom seat cushions behind the seats, and I'm done, except for keeping folding deck chairs onboard for extra passengers and for " chillin ".........
