ok I took he front and back seats out today because next week were going to start working on it its white and grey carbon viber material, i want to make sure it dosnt get ruined, but i have to admit the back seat must weigh at least 100lbs maybe more and the front seats are heavy too, this interor is probally good for 5mph without it so so heavy, thats why tuff jrs boat has a race hatch and different seats, the 28 had those winged looking seats and I lifted one much much lighter, but the seats were designed both style and colors by john Mcnight very tasteful but very heavy, the Superboat interor was at least 1/2 the weight

Good mention catch here ! It sounds like you found some shave weight areas if you want to reduce the total 'setback' and help the rougher water handling capability for our local waters ! Or are you going to first run it the way you bought it and then do changes with updates to follow ?
Superboat did a nice job to integrate the rear seat cushioning and save weight back in the day.
I am seeing you could make this thread into a multi-thousand word epic perhaps.Last edited by dnelson964; 08-02-2015 at 03:50 AM.

now that I relieze how heavy the interior is i will probably test without the the back seat and passanger seat, as far as shaving weight i would have to have new light weight seats made which i wont do becauce John Mcknights choice of colors and the boats interior is exquisite,as far as set back it is 18" that must be that amount for a reason, there is no question John knows what he doing, and he did set the boat up not to run on its tippy toes,saying that I will try and squeeze every last mph out of it, and you never know one sunday morning hoser could roll up next to me, and that would be bad if he rolled by me with a his very fast Superboat with 1980's technology,( we know that works) as Roy Scheider said " were gonna need a bigger motor"

Joe the only flaw if you can call it that is with all that warranty you will be hard pressed to do any upgrades to motor JMO
Fullers is both a Premiere Mercury and BRP dealer and BRP is a stickler for warranty work. They require engine reports for everything.
