This is the look I'm after Bob when we get there. A 4 seat design cockpit. This OE has tons of room in it and Id like to keep it that way. This is a Cig converted to the Gladiator style cockpit. I really like the steps

I like the white 1 's for the front. Those are made by ppi and used by spectre and others. Sometimes it is easier to build the whole backseat from scratch instead of retro fitting other seats . Just got drop everything in and go from ther.Isn't your boat wide enough to possibly have 4 back seats with a step in the middle???

Jay, Bob said the cock pit is 8.5' wide so yes it probably is wide enough for 4 back seats and a step up. The step up really doesn't have to be very wide you know just enough to step up on. I really just want a 4 seater though. Bob has taken real good care of me and the project. I'm just throwing ideas and options out there and if it doesn't work out with one or the other seat options I'll just resale a set. After dealing with Bob as we both know he's going to do whats best for the boat give me that raised eyebrow and just blow me off when I make a stupid suggestion. That's why I trust him so much. Plain and simple Bob reminds me of my wife, he's going to do what ever he wants to do and your going to like it when he's done. Here's what I was thinking since the boat is wide enough just add a couple coolers beside each seat. see photo.
