Boat seats

 The finished rear bench seat in all its glory! To say i am pleased with the finished seat would be an understatement, i cant stop smiling.
 I glued the 4" foam to the wooden seat base and covered that with wadding,then slipped the covers over and pulled tight before holding in place using stainless steel staples and a good quality industrial hand staple gun.



The tuck n roll worked well and i think gives a nice contrast to the aqua blue piped border'

  This picture shows the back of the seat and the neat finish achieved by doubling the vinyl over and stapling through a double thickness , this also gives strength to the fixing.







                                                                                     
                                                                               
        
Here are a few pictures of the rear seat in position in
the back of the boat (Looking Good!) This seat is
hinged on the front edge to tip forward and allow
access to the fuel tanks and battery .

    This looks awesome! Would you be willing to share plans for the frame?

    Thanks Bill , unfortunately I built the seats from scratch and didn’t make plans for them , just a basic wooden frame made from pine . If you meant the boat hull frame then I don’t have plans for that either as it was the only bit of the boat I didn’t make as it was the part I bought off eBay ! Sorry I can’t help you anymore but wish you all the best in you’re boat project .
