Took the tarp off and put on the repaired canvas enclosure this weekend. I love it. Heres some pictures. Picked her up last October but had to get her winterized and covered up before getting any pictures. Plan on bottom paint, new rod holders, two rear jump seats for the family, electronic ignition, and splash. Shes got the alternator conversion for the 470 already setup, new heat exchanger, bunch of new items put in by prior owner last spring. ;D ;D

What kind of seats do you have in mind? Something that folds up/down? I was considering something but I'm not sure what to get. If you have an idea maybe post a link or something....thanks.

Looks good...

I have 2 small coolers that fit perfect in that area. Make great seats with PFD coushion, and a place to keep the drinks! ;)

If you want to know what size I will go look.

Here's my set up an identical boat

Hey Reg, If you ever consider changing the seat cushion on your helm chair, keep me in mind. I'd love to have the old one. I have a second pedastal seat in place of the original lounge and I would love to have the matching cushions.

I was considering putting some Wise jump seats in. they have a plastic base. I was going to fabrcate`a way for the water to run to the flor drains. MJ i like your idea if i didnt have to worry about comfort for the wife i'd go you route.

I have the jump seats on either side of the motor too. When I go out alone I remove'm. More room to fish.
What I want is anutter fold down seat to replace the captains chair.

Reg, The boxes under my jump seats are made of wood and when the day comes that I replace them I will go plastic. I have never had a problem with the seats blocking the drains. The backrest tilts back slightly and keeps the base of the seat foward of the drains. With the space along either side of the base as well as the waters ability to seep under the seat base (this is why plastic is the way to go) drainage has never been a problem.
