Re: [OMC-Boats] Reply to seats

I've always felt the 62-66 1st-generation (removable) seats were part of the design character of these boats. You can easily re-web the suspension or replace with plywood. If the molded cushions are shot they can be recovered.

The 67-70 seats are also worth restoring, IMHO and also contribute to the original design character.

  I agree, these boats are over 35 years old and some still are like new. Wish my car seats that are 5 years old did a well. These boats were way ahead of their time. This was what America was about back then we had a soul. NOT any more, just corp types that want to steal and fool wall street. Yes, there are good companies that make good products but not like then. That was a much better time.
