My carpenter buddy, Jimmy and I got the new carped glued in today. man
it's gonna look good. had to quit because of the heat in the building.
besides we got most of the dirty work done and the carpet glue should
have a good stand over the weekend.

Instead of having the two forward seats on pillars like original, i
got thinking that mounting them on boxes would help use up a lot of
dead space underneath, and I remember seeing a restore/modification a
guy did to a cool looking SleekCraft on Iboats.com, and I got a good
idea of what I wanted. Jimmy said it wouldn't be a problem....

May as well use the open space for decent storage.

My old Winner 24 had the seats on boxes and there was a lot of storage
space inside of each. * There was also a fold down foot rest on the
front of each box which was at a comfortable height. * You might be
able to get some low rise swivel seats which would be a nice touch.

Wayne, we're thinking of taking the pillars off the original seats and
putting swivels on them then mounting to the top of a box. only thing
is, I'm sure someone makes a 'locking' swivel out there, but just
gotta look for it. I suppose.
