As the original owner, I purchased a splash well for my '76 Seafari from Potter when he had Seamark, after SeaCraft, probably in early 80s. Like
Just John it had gold, outdoor carpet on the non-gelcoat, rough roving side (probably ordered that color). I used it lots of years after the carpet gave up the ghost with my wife complaining about the appearance. Finally about a year ago I primed and painted the rough side white with the splashwell still in place. Looks good- should have listened to the wise wife sooner!
BTW- my transom is 20"
I have no ready pics of the paint job to send. Here is one showing the teak I added which is a nice touch and an occasional seat (at rest).
