I am getting ready to finish my boat which is a 79 Marauder x15 which is a copy of a 15' ally. I am getting ready to start putting it back together. I just put in a transom, stringers, and the floor. My question is where can I find a set of bucket seats for it with low backs. I see a lot of them in the old ally's. I am going to be putting an early 80's 85 horse merc on it. I have a cable and pulley steering for it or should i put in a ride guide steering. When i got the boat it had no seats in it but the guy I got it from said it had a seat on each side of it but when it was a drag boat it was center steer. I was thinking of making it a center steer again since all the holes are there. The guy i got it from said that when the boat was on pad it rode pretty flat because it had a big pad for a small boat. It has a 12" pad on it. So my two questions are where can I find nice seat for it and the second question is would it be better to make it a center steer again or should I keep the steering on the side.
Also this boat isin't getting setup to ski or anything, thats what my sutphen is for. But i want to start going faster, so this boat will be setup to just zip around the lake. If anyone has any suggestions I will gladly take them.
thanks chris
