Ok I installed the new boat seats and I only have a few more things left to do before I will be pretty much done with a majority of the boat restoration. I still need to pick up a GPS/Fishfinder. I have the old fish finder which is pretty much brand new but it is from the late 70ies and a pretty simple device and I was hoping to have something a little more updated to use plus I gotta have a top notch GPS. I am most likely going to pick up a Lowrance Elite 7 HDI Gold with the 1000 foot transducer in the next few weeks. I still need to pick up the rest of my Stereo parts as well. I am installing a West Marine 3000 CD/MP3 player with remote and a Kicker 4 channel MX350.4 marine amp. I will be running one amp channel through the rear stereo fader on a set of West Marine 6.5" pro speakers and also a set of the West Marine box speakers at 2 ohms in the Cockpit/Outside area. The other will be hooked to the front fader on another set of West Marine box style speakers in the cabin area at the standard 4 ohms. I also want to recover the cushions inside the cabin as close to the factory tweed as possible. I found a place that sells an extremely similar fabric but they want $45 a square yard! :wow: The current fabric still looks decent but it is extremely brittle and is starting to come apart. Does anyone know how much fabric I will need to recover the inner cabin cushions?
Any Advice would be helpful,
Thanx
Robert
I've enjoyed seeing how your restored boat turned out. Last week I bought a 1978 SRV Weekender 240. It's missing the aft left and right seating and I'm trying to figure out how the original seat was mounted, dimensions etc. I hate to impose, but is there any chance when you are next at your boat you could snap a picture or two. All that I have now is the cushion over the engine cover and the back-rest above it. The rest has been removed. So I don't really know what it looked like or how it was mounted.
Here is what mine looks like now:View attachment 43037
