how to build bolster seats
 

Im getting rid of the pedestal seats in my 24 ex is there anyone who has built stand up bolster seats and has plans/ pictures so I have a general understanding how to build my own? Another tread maybe? Any help would be appreciated, Im new here

I would be interested in how to build a bolster seat also.

I duno but the seats i ripped out of my boat were marine plywood glassed together, they were rotten so im rebuilding the seats using the same construction i will let you know how it turns out and how strong they are

first you have to deside if you want to use free standing with a double sided pedestal or the type that bolts to the side of the gunnel and one free standing pedestal..,the ones that bolt to the gunnel are stronger with the one free standing pedestal..

I have two new unused polyethylene roto molded seat shells for bolster seats. These are free to anyone that can use them. Packing and shipping at actual cost only. Thanks. Bob N. Colorado.

do you have any pictures by chance if they are still available?

Can you post pics?

They are in my storage unit. I will try and get some pictures this week.

Look at Great Lakes Skipper, they have some drop out frames and a load of seats at a reasonable cost. If you can find one that will work for you, it may be cheaper than fabricating your own depending on what you have to work with.

it isn't that hard to fab the wood part. getting the foam to work and look right, plus getting the hardware and the lower mount frames is another story. THEN you need to upholster them. it is a LOT easier to replace existing upholstery than to start from scratch. buy a used set that need redone. you will be ahead of the game big time...
