Skin-on-Frame: Seat Help?

I'm mighty close to finishing my Yost FAP-15. It's had 3 hull coats of elastomeric roofing paint, and I've just completed the first deck coat. I'm pleased as punch at how it's going, and when I'm done, I'll get some pics to the list.

I'm trying to beat a deadline of getting it all ready by Friday night so a buddy and I can go for a quick weekend trip. A first launch on Thursday a.m. would be grand. So far everything is falling into place for all that, but for one thing.

I forgot to make a sling seat to go into this boat. I should have done it before the skin went on, since I won't be turning it into a folder until a few months have gone by and Yost's sling seats actually slide onto the gunnels & chines before the skin. Any advice on how to best make temporary seating arrangements before the skin can come off?

ad delirium,
