The new seats are much lighter. The rear seat is much lighter than the old seats also. The fronts are just fiberglass shells with foam. The rear seat frames are now made with a honeycomb composite spliced together with glass. The foam adds the weight. I saw a pair of dual shells in the rear of one of the builds with a step thru the middle. We split my rear seat and made it wider to seat four in back. Once all the upholstery was removed there was very little weight to the frame. Appearance Products uses very dense foam and that where the weight comes in. I can tell you they are very comfortable and secure your passengers in the rear seats.

Another area ive thought about besides the lifting rings, are the air scoops located on on both sides of the boat. I wonder how much drag these babies cause as the air is rammed in and compressed inside the bilge and escapes out the back above the transom.
