For future reference: 24 bucket seat conversion

jayhawk261 · 07-01-2009, 12:14 AM

I know I've seen some bucket seats in a 24 Super. Maybe it was T-Islands boat? In any event, what would be involved in a retrofit from the bolsters to the buckets. I'm not sure I've ever used the bolsters in the 3 years I've had the boat. We're going to re-do the interior when business picks back up and gives us some income, and I was thinking the buckets may be a nice change.

Yes, my old boat has sit down bucket seats. I would think the guys at SB could direct you to the supplier of the seats. They just bolt to the floor.

Yeah, I'm hoping Rick will chime in and give some info. My concern would be if they would bolt in the same location or if I would wind up with extra holes in the floor that need to be dealt with.

Thanks T!

I thought you sold your 24 to get the Kryptonite. Was that you or someone else?

I'd like to switch to something like these.........

We can make the aluminum bases and buckets. It's an eaasy install. But the base holes for the bolsters will have to be filled. No big deal

Dave, Yyou should have a look at the PPI interior Anthony has in his Pantera now. It blows the original stuff away.
Jay, I had talk to JC about converting my Super to a sit down. There is more to it than just bolting in new steats.

Yes I sold the 24 for the Krypt and have since sold the Krypt for a Powerplay.
