Alright guys im going for it starting today since I can't make macintyre. Any pointers or suggestions? how do you roll the wood for the back of the front seats?

I dont know how to link stuff, but in projects, under 19' Rogers Project, page 8/9. You can see I kerfed mine and soaked it with water. Afterwards I filled the kerfs, then glassed it inside and out.

Beav's Seats

you do soak it in water and its a slow process...

these i got from a friend, but they were actually fiberglass tubing! soooo much easier, and then you can cut and design them to your liking...kinda wonder why not alot of people have really done this

thats a bad ass idea but how do they staple to the fiberglass?

oooo i see

they dont! the seats when they were upholstered were stapled to the seat bases! not the actual back rest portion!

on mine to make life easier i got 2 pieces of 1/4" and laminated them together. then i fiberglassed the seam. i put a ton of waterproof wood glue and spread it on with a small roller.

yeah i dipped it in the pool for a good 10 minutes on both sheets. just start rolling it on one end, using screws to hold it. i used 2 pieces that are the same shape of the bottom of the seat to screw into one for the top and one for the bottom. then after it sat overnight and all the glue was dry, i freehanded the shape of the seat with a pencil, cut it out little by little with a jigsaw, and finished it up with a belt sander.

seats look aewsome

I used alot coats of resin, I have also seen rhino liner

The way I look at it is the seats I pulled out of my boat were 40 years old, they were resin coated wood.  I did about 3 coats of thinned resin that the wood soaked up like a sponge, then about 3 more coats after that. I think I used a whole gallon or more
