ok guys so im makeing all my seats n side boards but on the side board how low do you leave it below the top of the cockpit ? :banghead: :banghead:.first build might be stupid qestion but trying to figuer this out

I made my seats and my girlfriend sewed them for me...I used a large piping to compliment the seat to hull. Always make things a tad larger as its easy to cut or sand later than buy more wood. My seat sits just below top side and the pipe finishes the difference and once seat is tightened down its about even. If the sides are in good condition without holes, you could have them underneath as in my kick panels...I just finished them an just need to add carpet.

make it out of foam first. that way u can see where things line up if you have enough room, etc and make templates to cut out in plywood thats more expensive and more diffiicult to cut. then you can set it in your boat and see how things are goin...

as mentioned above, piping is usually added at the top to complete the piece so make sure you leave a good 1/2 to 1/4" for the upholsterer to add foam, vinyl, and then piping.
