Well, tank is in. Looks like they put the original floor cut-out back over the tank. We agreed that the original floor cut-out would not be used. The cut out had uncovered plywood on one side and has been sitting outside for about 2 months. And, the corner of it was chipped up and damaged pretty bad when they pulled it up... I guess they were in a hurry? Looks like the original floor to me. What do you think? The saga continues...

OK! Now we're talking!~ Took the boat to a different repair shop. As you can see, they are removing the trim tabs. They may get moved to the outer edge. Good progress for sure. In one day, they have taken off most of the rod holders, cleats, rub rail, T-Top and other accessories. They are going to re-do the floor... AND, add front seating!
#gotta_do_it_right! Note: they numbered the Rod Holders and cleats, so they know where they go. Smart!

Here are the seats I'm going to model my seats after, there in a 27' contender, custom seats. The good news is, the guy who built these seats is the same guy who is building my seats... Can you believe this Contender used to have a cabin on it? Out with the Cabin, in with the lounge seats! The black donut (Garelick Brand Table Base) on the floor securely holds a table and huge Sunbrella. He says he couldn't be happier with the switch. I tell you, with the cushions in, these are some of the most comfortable seats ever.
P.S. see the Garelick table base in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxx4a3aDS7U I wouldn't think that little thing could support so much, but it does! Very Cool.

Here are the seat frames... I started the layout with 6' 2" seats which included a toe kick at the bottom. The inspiration came from the long (6' 4") seats on my neighbor's 27' Contender which are completely awesome! But, it turns out the toe kick I wanted takes away from the sleek lines I was going for. So I photo-shopped them out of the last picture. I think it looks better with the seats going strait to the ground. Cleaner lines. The builder said the owner of the Contender went through the same process and eventually decided no toe kick on his either.
Note the Blue tape across the center console shows how far I was planning to move the center console back, about 1 foot. Turns out, I had to move it back another couple inches for clearance, 14" total. The previous owner of this SeaCraft had moved it forward 1 foot, so now it's very close to being back to it's original position.

Grinding away on this project, literally. The seat supports are in. Filling in the square floor hatch so a bigger floor hatch can be made later that conforms to the outline of the seats. You can see the new hatch outline on the floor in pencil. I decided to make the seat in the center a little bigger (than my blue-tape-on-the-floor version), that will give me enough room to put a subwoofer and less cramped when your walking towards the bow between the seats. Also, removing old bow eye. New rub rail sample vs. old rub rail, big difference. 50' rub rail in a roll. And a brass thru-hull transducer.
That's all. ...for today.
