[QUOTE="ccm, post: 360402, member: 13447"] The project is coming along nicely! Beautiful work on the new transom. Me personally I like the idea of the cockpits in the original 60's style. Not to long ago I saw a restored/modified mahogany wooden runabout. It was a nice boat & on the original benches it had nice bucket seats mounted to them, it looked clean & professional not something that looked tacky or anything like that. There are endless options such as just plain wooden benches ( letting the next owner deal with cushioned seats ), mounting nice bucket/fold over seats onto the benches, making snap in/out cushions type 60's style seats for the benches, or having an upholstery shop make a custom set of cushions/seats. Just throwing some ideas your way but I'm sure whatever you choose to do it will turn out great because you have great craftsmanship. Great project can't wait to see more! [/QUOTE]
