A new seat for the Shadow, part 3

Still thinking of all different ways to fix a seat in the Shadow I examined the seat of the Skarabee. It is bolted to the flanks. A good idea to make seats interchangable. When someone wants a larger seat again then it can be arranged without doing polyester or epoxy work.

The seat in the Skarabee is bolted

Of course the seat will be supported by foam. And there is still an option to place back the original seat and glue it to the hull but not to the side walls. The side walls are necessary for bolting the seat to it and for fixing the backstrap.

I have received a few tips on my suggestion to place the seat as low as possible: Care must be taken that the seat can not touch the bottom or split can come under the seat as this can cause leaks after a time.
