Recently I got some new buckets for my 518. Eventually I may do a coin box but to start I want a clear path and step surface between the seats for people to walk through to the back deck. Tired of people stepping on my seats.
That said I am trying to decide how I want to build the seat pan. Plywood is out of the question. Contemplating having an Aluminum pan fabricated. Basic design of the aluminum would be to have a base and back type design. I would then carpet the entire pan and back and mount it to the boat.
Tonight a thought come to mind that might work great but maybe not. My idea would require me to strip the current bench down to just the plastic frame. Then re-work the frame in a way it could be used as the seat pan. I am all about re-purposing if it work and doesn't look ghetto.
The down side is I have to destroy my bench, which has some tears and also my boys were looking forward to using it in their bedroom as s cool little couch.
Does anyone have a photo of a bare plastic bench seat frame?
Once I start, next week, I will add photos to this thread as I progress.
Thanks!
