    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?

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

    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.

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