Thanks Jim,
Yes, it is Swede form. I really like the Mariner boats as well. The hull is sort of a stretched out Elan. The rocker is different and the keel was changed to accamodate wood. The deck was designed on top of the almost finished hull.
The seat works great. It is easy to adjust for steering and tracking, also for windage. It stays in place. Of course when the seat moves, you have to move the foot rests. I currently am using a pc of rope. I'm worried about snags so I'm replaceing it with 1/4" fiberglass rod. Also,They'll both push and pull the peddles
