The seat backs are high density foam from Joann Fabrics. the seat bottoms are high density foam from Amazon because the seat foam from Joann Fabrics was not high density enough. the brand was mybecca made in the USA. the seats are extremely comfortable, two inch seat foam on the backrest and 3 inches on the bottom. I should have bought a Long razor blade to cut the foam, but it's fine, the vinyl makes it look smooth.

the white foam is some sort of polyester weave that works great on sharp edges and creates a bolster. It will eventually be a white and red two tone but I'm making sure that they're comfortable the way they are first. I just quickly wrapped them.

Haha funny part is im probably one of the youngest members! I appreciate the compliments, I'll get a run video up here just been working a lot of 10 + hour days. Here's a money shot from like a week ago, you can tell I didn't spend a lot of time on the vinyl from this angle. I'll tear it off soon to redo it with white bolsters |

Hey Jim, you never posted the engagement pics, and it would be great to see some pics or video of the boat running.
Was it smooth and no surprises running at WOT? Anyone in the back seat? |

Dear Jim ,
From the looks of the form I just viewed you are a real Tasmanian for sure. It looks like there is no end to what you can do with your mind and hands. Nice work Jim.It was interesting to see the different ways you met the challenges of the rebuild. Impressive to say the least. My man is just like you, he has though's magic hands. Let me know the next time you see a monkey come out of the woods and through the tools around like that,its not going to happen. God blessed us all with different talents, but best of all you finished the job. What could stop you? Good luck in the future. NautiqueNut |
