Yes the rear seat bottoms tend to split at the seams. Had to have one of mine repaired last year. The reason is often because of people stepping on them concentrated pressure right where the seam is. On my R 1 there is no easy way to get in without stepping on the seat. I picked this up and it is working well. It is basically a stiff plastic core with vinyl covering. Nice looking, and has some weight to it.

As a follow up to "TOTALLY LOVING MY DRY PIPES" and the Turbulator removed, I noticed little if any to no exhaust soot on the transom after a hard day of running it. Before the mod I still had a fair amount of soot back there, so for what ever the reason it's not there anymore, I'm thankful for it.
Can't report back any improvements in speed as I had a junk prop on the boat due to a fair amount of debris in the lake, wasn't gonna chance dinging one of my good Bravo's.

Padraig, I like the seatsaver idea. Thanks for the link. Also have two rear cushions with split seams due to boarding traffic stepping in.
90profx, glad to hear that work payed off. I would love to get rid of my transom soot. I've been sick and planning to force myself to get boat to the marina slip today for the weekend.

Wife and I went to the lake Friday and it was empty, threat of possible storms kept everybody home. Turned out to be a trip worth taking as we had the lake to ourselves. Found a nice cove with running water......................

NEXT PROJECT: New Cockpit Cover & Rear Seat Cushion
Marine Board arrived yesterday for the rear seat bottom. Taking the boat to the shop next week for a new cockpit cover and having the seat done at the same time while we're on vacation at the beach in N.C. I've opted for a all yellow vinyl seat bottom cushion in lieu of the white, I think it'll look real good once done. I'll post up some pics when I haul it back home.

NEXT PROJECT AFTER THE NEXT PROJECT
Decided to move the two 10: Subs from under the rear seat to a new enclosure replacing the foot rests. By doing this the sub's will sound better in a sealed box and during all this I'm adding another foot rest about 18" up from the floor, it'll be much more comfy. Details to follow after I'm back from a needed Vaca at the beach.
