I toyed with this idea too because it would eliminate the need to hire an upholsterer. The only issue with it for my boat was that they ('90's Cig TG bolsters) were too high for the back of the cockpit area. I would have to cut the stands down a bit and then I think they would fit weird in stand-up mode.

I found a great deal on some new ones that I am going to purchase for the front however wondered if this might not be a bad idea to install 2 in the rear with a small custom bench between the two. Just not sure how this would look. I even considered installing three for across the back however I thought there might be a lot of wasted space with the sides being butted up against each other.

Thanks and sorry for getting off the subject a bit.

John,

Is this what you were thinking of? It would be quite easy to build a small bench between the two.
