Thanks for your responses. Sorry, I wasn't specific. I have a Skier (serial #SK:3138). It says 1974 on the registration, but I think it might be a 71/72. The battery was located on the passenger side, likely under the seat. I am also beginning to think the seats are not original. The driver's seat folds down. The passenger seat is flat and the back rest was secured with hinges to the dash. I tried to include a couple of photos, but no luck. Thanks for your help!

74SN and Skier won’t have the same dimensions. Other than distance from wheel to seat maybe.

Where is your battery compartment?

Craig, if it’s for your ‘74 if nobody pipes up I’ll get you measurements in next few days as I’m doing the same thing.

I have my own related question to this, if recarpeting, should I strive to utilize original holes or patch holes in the floor, recarpet and make new holes but keep same measurements?

Craig,
Since you didn't say what boat you are looking for the info above, I when back a year in your posts. Is this the boat?

Also, do you know if the seats are the original factory ones?


54 Atom


77 Tique

Keep it original, Pete

Where is the driver's seat and observer seat installed? How far back is the seat from the steering wheel? How many inches are the seats away from the port and starboard sides? How much taller are the seats in relation to the gunwale?

When I got the boat, there was no floor

Thanks for your help!
