The panel or the seat? The seat was a one piece wood unit, that was hinged at the top of the seat back. The whole swung up to get at the battery, gas tank, etc. The panel on my low pro I could get pictures of, I still own it, but its wrapped up for winter here in the great white north.
Mines made out of 3/8" ply, its held in place with a couple of bungee cords that come off the transom and hook onto eye hooks to hold it in place. The padding on mine was shot, I covered it in carpet when I redid the floor and replaced the rotten back to backs with a pair of buckets.Last edited by 58Evinrude; 03-25-2018 at 12:52 PM.

Once the snow is gone I'd be glad to shoot as many pics as you need, measurements, etc. Its original to the boat, except for the covering.

Somewhere I have seen patterns for all the Glastron seat frames.....I did run across this post where the owner is parting out a 16 foot CVX 16 which should be close interior size wise to a Schuster/Sidewinder.

Seeing as how the seats need to be recovered it shouldn't be hard the adjust the rear bench to fit the transom of your boat.
Keep in mind you will most likely want the vent the back where the gas tank/battery fit for safety reasons (note the vents on either side rear of 58 Evinrudes boat)

My SS had a 20 gallon built in tank at the stern vented outside, but not original to the boat, I installed it. The Low Pro has a bow tank, again vented to the outside, but factory installed.

I just noticed you're in ON, I'm just on the other side of the river, you woodnt happen to have any leads on a soda blaster up there, or if the price with currency conversion is right I'd also be interested in having the boat re gelcoated vs doing the gelcoat myself (presuming I don't go with paint, still have 100% decided).

Sorry, I have no leads on a soda blaster. I had my hull painted with an epoxy paint, I'm still debating what to do with the deck...the flake has faded badly.

I'm the wrong guy to ask....I can rebuild floors, transoms, but when it comes to finish work thats outta my area.

You wont get that look with Awlgrip or even Gel....That is a Kustom Color Brandy Wine on the left and not sure the white.
