Looking for Used Bench Boat Seat
Posted: February 24th, 2004, 10:32 pm
Hi Folks,
Just went to KY this weekend and picked up my old 14' bass tracker that has been in the family for years. It's going to be a real project getting it sea worthy; however, it's an aluminum boat with a 50 Merc that used to run like a champ. I've been going through the engine for the past 2 evenings cleaning carbs, lubricating, etc... Looking forward to getting it into the flats!!
Anyway, I'm looking for pointers on locating a 45 - 48" bench seat replacement. The old one doesn't exist anymore. I found a new one at Cabelas for $200
ouch! I'm not turning up much on searching the internet on Google...
I could make one from treated plywood; however, I'm not the greatest at sewing vinyl by hand. I thought I would seek advice from the many project boat people on this site.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Any boat junk yards, etc in the Tallahassee area?
Thanks,
Dale Hollow
