True dat... Just to clarify, I was referring to the back seat possibly not fitting due to cockpit depth. This isn't my first rodeo... :D

Its been a week or so.....update :)

The width of the cockpit in my boat is 80". The new seat is 80 and 3/4" at the top. Everything else lines up perfectly. I decided to wait until the boating season is over. My moto is always "do it once and do it right" I'll stick with that.... :D
It may fit just fine if the seat structure is taller that what is in there, I didn't measure that. Once it was apparent thatit wasn't something that I could do in an hour or two..... we abandoned the idea, went boating and had some fun. That's how we roll in Edgerock!! :D:evilb: |

DONT RIP IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can already see this turning into a "he told me a week, now its the end of august, and i lost the whole summer" thread. put it off until the fall. that is the best advice i can give you.
After measure, re-measuring and then measuring again, the back seat would not fit. :( The good news is that I realized this before removing anything! :D Everything measured out good with the exception of the seat base at the top in the very back. It is 3/4" too wide. I'm dropping off the seat at my upholstery shop today and he is planning to pull the vinyl back and trim a little of the edges and re-attach it. Then she should slid right in!! Maybe it would fit without doing this (by getting a couple of fatties to jump up and down on it), but I'm willing to take that chance in mid-season. :D:ernaehrung004: |

Update... The new back seat is in!!!! 3/8"was shaved off of each side (just in the very top of the structure) and this beeotch fits like a glove. Getting the old seat out was easy. Two screws in each of the floor brackets and three lag bolts from inside the bilge, the battery switch box unscrewed and fit through to under the seat and it lifted right out. Then..... the cleaning started. What a phucking mess!!
here are some photos if anyone is interested... :) |
