Not sure what you mean by "seat platform", but I have an original pedestal and mating spyder that attaches to the original fiberglass bucket-type seat if that's what you're looking for. I replaced original helm pedestal in this pic with an adjustable height version.

Thank you! But what I'm actually looking for is the piece with the sink. btw I'm in North Palm too. I love your door, I have been sanding on mine and finally got all the paint off lol that was fun. It would be cool to see your Seafari in person sometime!

Update: the painters came and looked at my progress today. We went over all the little things I still need to do. She should be ready for 545 primer on Sat. They assured me that after they paint it its gonna look AWeSOmE WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Sent you a PM with phone nos. and address. You're welcome to swing by anytime. I used Epifanes Wood Gloss varnish on the door, about 6-7 coats. PowerBoat reports recommended it as the most durable varnish, and it's held up well. Denny
