Brian.......The boat show is this weekend, it's held at the McCormack place on Lake Shore dr. on the lakefront, where Meigs airfield used to be. I like that 3 man bolster you have. Is it factory option update? Does the center come out? That's what I want to do to ours this winter, just trying to get some ideas. BTW, GREAT pics!!! I spoke to Jack this morning and he told me I can invite as many people as I want to this event. You could call him and he can give you some of the details. His cell # is 708 209 8301 and tell him for spoke to Frank, I told him we spoke. If you can't reach him, my home # is 708 579 5434 and I'm usually home after 4:30 / 5:00. Hope we get to meet. Frank

This weekend?? Hmmm, might have to see if I can rearrange my schedule. Originally had plans to ride my sled this weekend. I'll have to get back on that one.
The center seat was a custom job, that's my seat while racing. I took a plate of 5" x 1/4" aluminum and tied the two bolsters together. Powder coated it white.
Make sure the bolsters are bolted down and to the insides of the cockpit real tight. The padded part of the seat was done by my upholstery guy, and has a plywood frame that screws to the plate. I weigh about 210, and it's a tight fit, but solid.
To remove, just unscrew the grab handles, slide it out, and screw the handles back on. 10 mins, tops.
Here's some pics for details...

Brian......... Do you still have a cabin? How do you get in it , or down underneath? It looks like you closed off the opening where the sliding door is.

10x, I still have a cabin. The dash panel was extended across to give the throttleman and navigator controls, and more importantly, handles! It hinges up for access below. Another King Starboard project.
US1, what loops on drive caps?
