I glued and nailed two pieces of 3/4 inch birch finish sanded plywood together. I finished them out with body filler, primed it with a 2k primer. I painted it white with Dupont Imron paint due to its ability to hold up really well under extreme conditions, last but not least I added 3m grips strips. I bought a long hinge from the hardware store that all the holes lined up with those already in the boat [By some lucky chance!]. No new holes drilled and can put the factory seat back at a later date should I choose to. I plan on adding a Nitro decal to the rear board. The rear board is necassary since Nitro drills Giant oblong holes to attach the back of the seat.
Wow that looks factory fitted - very sweet!

Hey Guy's, I've been lurking around for awhile now. I see some really awesome work done here and I would like to remove my center seat from my Z7.
I have looked to removing it, but I can't see where the attachments are. I lifted the lower portion and cant see that there is enough room to get behind the seat to unfasten it. The live well is in the way as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
remove rear storage bins and reach in there.

Done...
Few more pics of the my center seat replacement...
Bent a sheet of .090" aluminum...primed...painted and finished off with some 3M non skid.
I think my Z7 logo is too big for that space...what do you guys think?
No that looks fine , the only thing I would change is the way the aluminum overlaps the carpet at the top
