Re: New Helm Seats
Yes they are very good looking. What brand are they? I'm looking to replace me seats also.

They are Wise shells that I had a friend upholster. I gave him a picture of SeaEric's seats to pattern them after. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

Re: New Helm Seats
Yes, and you didn't have to deal with Pompanette, who can be a huge pain. They look great.

Re: New Helm Seats
I have spent more time studying your overhead box and measuring and musing and I am having real trouble coming up with how I can make a similar arrangement fit on my boat, but it is so elegant. I don't think I have as much height between the top of the windows and the hard top as you do and it will cause wiper motor clearance issues too. I haven't seen any other helm arrangements on like boats that appeal to me. Most added on helm instrument boxes don't integrate well.

Re: New Helm Seats
That overhead console stops well short of the windshields and wiper motors. I found a few shots that may help.
