What do you mean "complete setup"? Can you post or email some pics? I have front bolsters, and a rear bench from 38 fountain. The fronts fit great, but the rear bench doesn't. and where are you located??

I remade all my seating with the help of a Chippie mate - wasnt to hard - the seat types changed over the years mine 24SE is made up of lots of peices as in the pic.
Base is made up of a base board with three seperate square seats and three fronts all bolted or screwed together. Back is made up of nine panels screwed together with 1/4 20UNC screws and prong nuts throughout. Centre peices are vinyl over foam and stapled to the base board.

I didn't know what the beam was on a 24, The rear bench I have could be made to work. It does not have the curve at the top to match the pantera hatch . It does match my bolsters, but I was considering re-upholstering. Here is a pic from a while back. The boat is all tore apart. These seats are from a 38 fountain, Bought them from a guy on this board or Hotboat forums, cant remember now

That might be what I try, I like the look of the seperate seats on a bench. Does not look too complicated, except the sewing part. I would have to have that done by a pro. Thanks for the idea.

Btw, I did see a post a while back you made about some seats, I saw the pics and I think my eyes will heal pretty soon, LOL, those yellow seats are just about cool as S**t. Would look awesome in a mid seventies jetboat. You would have to pay a fortune to remake a set like those today! If you still have those and want to sell, you might post them up on Hotboat.com forums.

A Saturday in the middle of winter, yanked all the interior, stopped at Sears and bought a sewing machine, stopped at the fabric store and bought a couple hundred $$$ of vinyl.
The ex-wife comes home to find me in the basement with a sewing machine sitting on top my table saw, a beer to my right, and a smoke hanging out of my mouth, and I was sewing.
I'm working on doing my Pantera now, just haven't had the energy lately to get anything done, and have been working 12-13 hr days almost 6 days a week.
