Thanks Tony and yes I see the resemblance to the Skater seats, but aren't the Skater seats fiberglass shells?
I believe mine are the original Don Frost seats, with wood shells.
There are the same ones when I originally bought the boat in 2002 (Hull is a 1998). They are getting a little old, not horrible, but not "perfect" like I like, ha ha

Jared, I went and measured this morning and the tops of mine are 27" from the floor, and here are a couple pics from the side to see the relationship to the faring

Thanks, those look great. Mine will look very similar. Your boat looks mint. I believe Daryll, who's upholstering mine, apprenticed under Don Frost.

The shell Mark made is foam core, and it's also very similar to the Skater seats.

I have heard great things about Daryll, I am sure your interior will be awesome

And thank you for the compliment!

This thing is a tank, hopefully this little Evinrude can plane it out!

More info on that 30 Shadow cat in the video.

Boat looks fantastic and really looking forward to watching how she runs.

That Cat is cool. Was being fitted for a custom cover.

[AZMIDLYF]

Old School cool for sure.

Well, we have the interior installed. Buttoning up a few things. Have to say, the interior looks better than I thought. Was a little unsure when I picked the color. Pics don't show the color well either. Have a few props to try yet, and wont' get a chance until next week. Ran great when we did a quick spin in the Long Island sound, some decent size waves. Love the sound of the big Rude. So quiet at idle, but has a nice deep sound when the RPMs get going. Boat is solid as a rock.

Have a Bravo XS 27", Fury 4 25", ProMax 28", and slightly modded Trophy Plus 26" to try.

Looks great post some vids of her running when you can.

Nice not a fan of the back seat. The way it stick up ruins the lines for me but he'll it ain't mine

[89LASER]

Looks great. Florida reg numbers? I guess it's not staying on Long Island.

[blkmtrfan]

I do kind of agree about the rear seat

Mine stuck up a bit maybe and 1" to 1 1/2" when I first got the boat, and I cut the base to make the seat top flush


But I do like the interior color and can't wait to hear about your testing results

[TwzteD]

Color combo is great, the boat im rebuilding now will be similar colors but with a darker gray (haze gray) similar to the gray in the seat stripe. I got the idea from the midnight express. I think red interior looks premium, Great job boat looks awesome.
