[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 476042, member: 7076"] So what does an engineer do during quarrantine? Play with CAD: Here's what I was thinking for my initial layout, with a bench seat on the side and one in the back. I'd need to be able to acess the bilge area for fuel and accessories, which means it would need to be able to hinge upward or something similar. But that leads to some challenges where the seats meet. I'd need to blend the seating between these two corners: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Starboard Front Bench.JPG"]106509._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Seat Interference.JPG"]106510._xfImport[/ATTACH] But I started playing around with removable seating, and I think I might be better off with removable pedestals in the main area. I can take the back two pedestals out when tubing or fishing, or when more space is needed. This might be the way to go: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Starboard Front.JPG"]106511._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Port Rear View.JPG"]106512._xfImport[/ATTACH] It'll certainly be easier to build in removable seats rather than a permanent bench. I gave the inside a powerwash last weekend. It looks much better. [ATTACH type="full" alt="MVIMG_20200726_134055.jpg"]106516._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here are some better pictures of the corrosion on the back of the transom: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20200726_134306.jpg"]106514._xfImport[/ATTACH] and the cover that caused it: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20200726_134401.jpg"]106513._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
