Thanks Illogikal. I am going to copy your idea and Spares together. I will use the liner out of two old ice chests and foam it insideo a seat box. Is your seat the right hieght? It looks low to me, but i have no idea. I was hoping to be able to make a small leaning post/seat on each seat box,kinda like what Willy put on Fishbones but not as wide.

We have lots of cats around here so kitty hair is no problem.

sounds good. I built the boxes to be just high enough to store the batteries in. 12" high and the seat riser adds enough height for me to sit comfy and still see. the seat is set perfectly to act as a leaning post when standing underway. I took inspiration from bertram, blackfin and grady on the approximate size. the back portion of the box will have a cushioned lid seat to cover the blue cooler insert. its a low seat but still comfy for us vertically challenged. you would have been a fan of the original seat box that came with the boat in 2001, it was about stomach high with a seat in front, cabinet in back and electronics box in between. too bad it was painted wood, I sent it to the curb years ago...

A few details left to finish up but I'm getting real close! still need seat hatches and battery storage hatches made up. gonna have white pleated vinyl over rear seat hatches.
