If you want the plastic stuff just type "rigid PVC sheet" into Google and find a local supplier. Or go with plywood and never deal with it again.

Sorry, but West is the very last place I shop for marine items. Their prices are bad and their "advisers" lack any knowledge. Go with the plywood as mentioned and do CPES it. Marine grade is NOT needed. |

Excellent, I'm hearing that West Marine might sell extruded PVC. If that doesn't work, I've got some treated marine grade plywood from a Triton snowmobile trailer. That would probably make an excellent seat base..

I have a 1993 and have re-done the entire interior. As Tim said, that seat base is Extruded PVC material, not fiberglass. Since you purchased it from a dealer some years ago I am quite confident in saying that you got another piece of the XPVC. Mine was also cracked. Actually, I had two cracked observers seat bases with both parts broken in my dual 1993 hulls. I replaced the seat base with a piece of plywood that was treated with CPES liberally before making the seat. I think I went with 1/2", but am not sure. The overhang is not very wide and the seat feels solid with this setup.

Thanks TRBenj.
8122, I believe it was fiberglass but I'm not sure. It was definitely not plywood and the 1993 is supposed to be the first year with no wood in it. I ordered it through Correct Craft back then and they were able to get me one. I talked to my local dealer yesterday and he is checking but wasn't sure about availability. The piece was pretty sturdy but cantilevers off the seat quite a bit in the corner, Both times it broke because someone stepped right in the corner.

John, When you replaced the original PVC, did you replace it with fiberglass? A 1/2" thick would be pretty heavy and very hard to break. |

Extruded PVC (XPVC)... Probably 1/2" thick. Trace the shape of the old one before you disassemble the cushion.

My kid broke the spotter's seat bottom on my 1993 Ski Nautique. I replaced it once before, many years ago, just pull all the staples, and slip in a new seat bottom. A hassle, but good as new once replaced.
But I can't seem to find a good source for the seat bottom. It is a fiberglass sheet, probably 1/2 inch think. If need be I can cut a replica out of a piece of fiberglass. Any ideas? Thanks!! |
