Chip,

Its me...long lost Scott. I am making my seat at this time also, between several other projects. Are you going to make a groove on the underside of it so water can flow from front to back and aid in dumping? I plan to attach mine to the boat with velcro, so I can remove it for cleaning. I also have a crazy idea...I plan to attach the bottom of the seat to the back of the seat by making the whole thing like a giant hinge with a rod of some sort for a hinge pin. I have been using an angle grinder with a wire brush head for sculpting, what did you use? - Scott (I will be away from computers for a while)
