Well, since you asked, sorry Jim, I baught two seats. Took one too upholstery shop, the other was cracked down the front side. Went to the Up. shop to see how it was going and the guy had some tape on it so he or I pull it off and off comes the gel coat with it. Meanwhile I got the ole lady on the phone with Dan Aaseth at CANYON Marine, told him one was cracked and the gel coat thing. No prob gonna send some out. Dinged my card again for another two hundo plus PLUS  shipping again. So, I shipped the three ways total. On and on and on with this guy, Oh I must of cracked it he says. I said, "Dan, do you think I sit around and order parts, wait for them and play basket ball with them?" So on and so fourth, then the upholstery shop couldnt handle the job so I got another three bills in foam and materials. So now I got what 850-900 in these things, cant sell 'em and cant afford to put any more money in them.

Terry-

If you still want them covered, send me the seats, and your foam & upholstery, I'll take them to my guy and see what kind of deal we can work, he's good like that.  Sucky situation to say the least. Let me know man.

Skip, you ever been diagnosed as a bi-polar personality     

Seriously, one minute you're ready to verbally beat the holy hell out of someone, then you're the coolest cat ever....WTF   

All kidding aside bro, that's cool of ya

GT

apreciate it man. got them stashed in the back room, pisses me off to see 'em. I'll call ya, or versa  vicea next week. been thinkin about just doin a nice bench, know what ah mean?

I don't think I ever wanted to beat Terry up, did I?  shit now you got me all kinds of confused 

as for the seat deal with T, if I can help him, or anyone else on this board out, in whatever way, I'll do it, life's too short.

You ready for the summer? Is WTII going to make it to LSAR?

How's tricks?

Skip, just giving you a hard time, sort of sounded like you were going to go off on Terry...You did just beat the crap out of Tom  

All I can say right now is maybe on the Blanco Basura II  , though it may not be painted yet....ran out of money, not to mention time.

I might bring down the Southwind if we still have it, been doing some final wrenching on it with every spare minute I have (which have not been that many to be honest)...

My seat frames are cut, need to get the bending and welding done once the dimensions are finalized, the problem is time, the fab shop has had a couple good jobs come in so I back burnered myself with them (paying customers first, if you now what I mean)....

Tommy, in all honesty, I'm not feeling the seats, colors are good, just sort of stick out like pontoon boat seats...maybe if you could lower the tops.  Really not sure why they're not working for me.

x3 on the seats...those shells you had in there (upholstered of course) are definitely the right seats for that rig............unless you gonna put a couple pedestal seat mounts on the deck and a trolling motor hangin off the side...

No offense taken ,re the seats or anything else on this boat like the welded headers or the runs in the paint or... My upohlsterer is in Mexico for vacation and Im selling fiberglass seat shells so fast my glass guy can barely keep up, I gave up mine from this boat to a customer last week , didn't want to be setting on milk crates so I snagged these for now , BTW this whole rig was put in the water "turn key" for an absolute minimum of $$  in less than 3 weeks runs 80 and handles well I'm happy with the whole project, I'll double my money when I'm done playing with it and when I'm bored I'll drive one of the other half dozen boats I have to pick from 

Nice video's Tom. Is that Hal's flatbottom? If so that thing still kinda scared the shit out of me

Tommy,

I hope that you caught the fun in my post about your fishin' seats  it was meant with no ill and if I have offended you then I apologize for that, the boat's looking good and I for one am stoked you have another hot rod to hit the water with, I wish I had a half dozen boats to choose from, between that and your lovely wife, you're a lucky man.
