We finally got a break in the weather, so I managed to get something done. Just to get started I built new rear seats. I bought two new Igloo coolers to go under the seats but I kept the lids on them. This meant I had to make the hole a little bigger and raise the seat height about an inch and half. I also added a back piece to give them more support since the coolers are no longer part of the seat's structure.
Here's what they looked like before;
Here's what they look like. I still need to seal the wood but I wanted to see if they fit in the boat. They need a little shaved off here and there but it's very close. Fortunately, they used really good fasteners and I was able to reuse all of the stainless steel screws. The front of the seat needs to be covered with vinyl and I need to do the seat cushions.
