    Nice work and I love the colors...... You should be able to mount the seats to the old fiberglass platforms and mount the platforms to the boat, back with the original piano hinges.

    100% mine is still kicking after all these years and who knows what mistreatment from the previous owner.

    Yep that's what I did, you'll notice though in my pictures it's not quite exactly a perfect fit as the bottom cushion can't sit square on the platform. Not too worried since I didn't use the underseat storage a lot and the pros outweight the cons

    The seats should swing forward then, no? Wrap the bottom sections in carpet.

    That's what i hoped when I ordered, but the platform hits the upper seat part when I try to swing it forward. The other option is make a custom platform, which I'll probably do next year.

    Great write up! I tried sending you a PM, but your inbox was full. Do you have measurements on your deck framing? What did you use underneath your new front hatches?
