Thanks for the compliments guys. Now I need ideas for a comfortable wood seat. This is what I have come up with so far. I do have a 3/4'' thick sheet of closed cell foam I might use also.![]() ![]() The slats are the same as the on the hull 1/4''X3/4'' ,to try and give the seat flex. I will put slats on the back also. But as it is it still feels hard on my tail bone where the seat bottom begins to curve back up at the back. |
