Default Do what?

Man, that is a good deal on the resin and gelcoat. It would be worth the drive from Lakeland. Last resin I bought was $30/gal. Back in 2000 when I was hot and heavy into the rebuild I was paying $17.99/gal and I was buying 10 gallons at a time. I won't even tell you what the gelcoat was running. I could have built another boat with the money I would have saved. COL!

Hey NYMack, there is a guy on Ebay who sells a wide variety of seat cushions. Just do a search for boat seats and they should come up. He often has sets of cushions (i.e. the backrest cushion and the seat cushion). They are generally white with various colors of piping. No idea where he is getting them, but they go pretty cheap. I bought one from that was white with red piping to match the bootstripes and bimini on my V cuddy and put it on a big igloo cooler. Even came with SS screws and snaps. I think I only paid about $15 for it.

Default At last..

This came out exactly how I planned it , in the upright and lock position the engine still tilt up with no problem , I also add a aluminum support for the back rest, the back rest is locked in place with a wing nut this prevents it from rattling and folding down by itself.
The base is mounted only on two solid stainless hinges I found on ebay it allows the entire seat to tilt or fold forward clearing the splash well completely.
The guy that did my enclosure took a template to make cushions for it we see 200 bucks !

WING NUT AND SUPPORT

Nice mod on the aluminum ..

Sweet hinge ? I can also remove the pin and seat completely

Splash well all clear

Now maybe I will wash the Boat down ..
