Yeah, the gunnels were cut. We sat in the boat, and Danny said we could make the back seat feel bigger by doing a couple things:

1. Cig built the seat out about 4" from the bilge divider- we could utilize that space to recline the bench and add leg support.
2. Cig made the bench kinda "rounded" in the corners...which could be made more "square" (like Skater bolsters).
3. Make the bench armrests smaller making the bench a little wider (so four people won't be so crowded).
4. Move the cupholders and grab handles into the gunnels- the cutouts would make the narrow beam boat feel bigger.

When the entire cockpit was out, he sketched the new seating arrangement and where the cutouts would be. They cut them out, then made the sidepanels to fit in the new holes.

Here's a better pic of the rear bench:


The bolsters still dropout (stock Cig pedestals):


Here's a pic of the old interior (old gauges, old interior, old floor, and old blower hatch):


Thanks for all the kind words!
