[OMC-Boats] TK - My Bad

OK OK - you guys are right - the seats should stay - just rework them to
make them presentable. I have one set that was recovered and looks nice but
I had to put plywood in the bottoms to support the seat as the webbing was
shot. My other pair is original but the vinyl covering is shot and I will
recover them also. The new seats you see look ok but probably wont last -
thats what makes these boats so nice - the stuff was built like it should
be - to last. TK
