    That set up looks great and looks a lot more comfortable than the back to back seats they came with. Somewhere in the past they added head reats to mmy seats....Supposethey got tired of banging head.

    You wouldn't happen to have any photos of the padded rear panel itself would you?

    Like how it attaches, how it was made, I'm thinking I'm going to have to replicate it unless I can find one for sale, which I feel might be tuff.

    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.

    Yeah, the panel is what I'd be looking to replicate.

    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.

    http://www.classicglastron.com/phpbb...t=Seats#p69884

    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.

    Looking back, or forward, if you were laying a pearl (reds and whites), would you go with awlgrip paint or new gel?

    If you want Pearl (or Metal Flake) I would go with Gel....There is no way to spray Awlgrip with Flake or Pearl as they don't offer a Clear. Do a search on you tube about spraying Gel and you will find it is not the hard and rather forgiving.

    The pearl is pretty important and part of the vision when I got the Tahiti
