Default My boat seats are rotting...

Ugh!

I went and pulled the tire off my small boat to get it changed out,
and I thought while I was there, I'd look in to see if my first aid
kit was still in good shape. I'll probably replace it too, but...

I went to sit down on the right seat and it felt a bi spungy. Oh,oh...


I looked underneath it and there were like dry rotted plywood
splinters under the box itself. I knew it was coming last year, but
now they're deteriorating pretty hard. So I looked around to see what
factory made seats are looking like, and well, I found conventional
seats that arn't in the same color scheme as what my boat is, and I'd
have to have them re-apolstered to match. It's a nice little boat and
i'd like to keep it that way. so what should I do? Make new boxes? or
buy the crate stuff.

Now another thing, I've always thought these seats were sort of small,
and i'm not looking to make a livingroom couch out of them, but I
suppose that while I'm wrting this I'm still convincing myself that
making the boxes might be a bigger PIA than buying them.


Decisions, decisions.

BTW, the boat is a 1983 Chris Craft 169 scorpion.
