Prior to start of interior work - May 1999

  Dry dock in the back yard. Ready for launch.

Sizing the refurbished stringer to the boat.

A garden tractor with a hitch is very handy!
 
 

Front Seat replacement - June 1999

After several attempts at design, a seat base that fit into the existing pedestal was built.
 

Base fitted with new pedestals for bucket seats and center step.
 

Pedestals and center step lifted out to show support detail.
 

Pedestals have square bases that just fit into the support.
 

Bucket seat is attached to a pedestal and test fitted in the support.
 

Driver's bucket can be shifted toward center for trim when boating alone. Both buckets may be positioned in any of four facings (font/left/rear/right) and pinned secure with the hex bolts shown in the first picture.
