    Replacing wood bench seat

    I obtained an old 70's Starcraft Jon with wooden seats last year... Think I paid too much, but was the only thing around that fit my desires at the time.... The seats on there now look like a solid piece of 5/8" wood and they are beginning to split.. It's been painted a couple different...
