Boat Info
1997 330 Sundancer
2004 220 Select
Engines
Unsure
We've been Sea Ray owners since 2003--first boat was '03 185 Bowrider. Then we went bigger--2005 200 Sport, now we own 2004 220 Select, purchased from older gentleman last year. It's in perfect condition other than chalky black gelcoat (getting fixed soon). Interior looks brand new and only had 54 hours on the engine when we bought it.

Anyway, we've been gifted a 1997 (we think) 330 Sundancer. Quite a shock, but my hubby helped a friend out a lot while he lived/boated here, and his way of thanking us was to offer us his boat. She's in pretty decent shape overall, just needs some TLC. Needless to say, we were (and still are) in shock.

One thing we've noticed that we'd really like to fix--the bench seat at the very back is missing. We have the cushion, just not fiberglass/plastic part with legs that forms actual bench. Since I'm new here, do I just ask that question on one of the forums? Trying to abide by the rules.

Thanks in advance, we're excited! We love Sea Rays, but never thought in a million years we'd own one this BIG!!!

If you can't find the original parts needed, consider removing back seat all together and getting two nice boat chairs like west marine or other vendors sell, that's what I did, and less upholstery to take care of....
 
We have the cushions, and the seat support is gone--he has no idea what happened to it. We have 4 boys (plus all their friends), so we'd love to replace. If not, hubby will have to get creative! Thanks for reply--your boat is gorgeous!!
 
I think for the work and cost of finding a replacement a custom piece may be easier and less expensive. Crafty with aluminum rail frame and webbing may work (or an aluminum skin). Im not sure how to find a direct replacement, but I would think it would be a salvageable part from a totaled boat.
 
I would think that if you could find a boat in the marina like your's you could make a pattern and build it out of marine plywood paint it out with epoxy paint a you'll be set.
