Default Re: Sceptre - Back to Back Seats - WTB

Quote:
I have a '78 Sceptre that came with the back-to-back seats
on the port/passenger side. The base is a rectangular fiberglass box that is good for a fair bit of storage
underneath.

The seat mechanism was a pain and I ended-up tossing the seats, covering the top of the box with Starboard, and mounting two Pompanette captain's chairs on short pedestals.

I don't know where you could find the "box" itself, but I can't imagine it would be too difficult to fabricate one yourself. In any case, I think the original box is too short anyway. If it would help, I can try to get the dimensions of mine for you.
Yep, that is the exact one we had originally. I'm trying to replicate, except for the folding hardware. I'm going to improve the hinge and slide design. Your right it was a pain in the.....

I may make the fiberglass rect. base, but slightly taller as you suggested. I agree it was a tad low. But I can't make it much taller or else your feet will dangle.

What was the Length and width?? 18x40 I would guess. A true measurement would be of great service. Overall original height would help too.

Thanks,

Jim
