I can't remember....maybe 8-10" ???

The ones on my skiff are 8 3/4"

Here's a not very good pic

I also had a 3/4" thick by approx 2" wide brace that ran from the front to back of the seat, and a support that went down to the keel

Try sitting on a board and see what feels comfy....well sort of comfy!!!

She is starting to look like a boat. Three coats of primer has been applied.






The seats and coamings have been stained and CPES started.
Warren, I ended up going with 9 1/4" wide seats.


Note: I replaced the pictures with ones off of my camera, instead of my cell phone.

We were able to apply 4 coats of Interlux VC Performance bottom paint tonight. This is my first time using marine primer and bottom paint. I was a little concerned at first, but after carefully following directions, I'm pleased with how both turned out. We rolled and tipped both.

Can't wait to do the sides!!!!!

The Interlux VC bottom paint is done and there are now 2 coats of Interlux performance in Oyster White on the sides. I hope I don't regret choosing that color. I hope two coats are enough, I will know tomorrow once it is dry.

My color selection for the sides was a toss up between the Oyster White and Pirate Black. I hope I picked the lesser of the two evils.

Chip - You are becoming a regular pro at all of this. Have you decided to get out of the GSR business and into boatbuilding

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Black, White, blue, greens,,,, Such boring paint jobs these days,,,,I think you need to step things up a notch feller...

Dave,

I'm no pro, I just enjoy messing with all this stuff. And no I'm not going to quit my day job. I'm going to keep on frying chicken and flipping burgers.

Mike,

Nice art work!!! Thanks for covering up all the bugs stuck in the paint.
