75, are you talking about the M17 in Fort Wayne?

Those buckets are fine, but they wouldnt be original to the late 60's and early 70's boats. The buckets we're looking for have fiberglass shells and look like this:




If Ive got the wrong boat and you actually have a lead on the buckets that we're looking for, let me know- Ive been looking for quite some time. Ive had a feeler out there for almost a year.

I ended up using one of the newer rotocast buckets for the front since i could not find one. Its a little to big and hard to get into but comfortable.

I posted to the craigslist set a mustang around here for sale with the buckets, rear facing seat and vent windows in it. If it gets a little cheaper i would be tempted to pick it up and part it out....
Take your work seriously, not yourself.

I can wait on the bucket. Haven't been able to find one at any price.

I know you don't wanna be left out for Valentines day.

John, I havent gotten started on these yet- some pictures from Mr. P would help me, but really I just need to spend some time creating a mold. The next few weekends are booked up, so its doubtful Id have one done in a month regardless- but Ill see what I can do. Im toying with different scenarios in my head and would love to do the St. John's with you guys- but that weekend is a tough one. Ill know a bit more in the coming weeks and Ill let you know!

Doug, I dont have any pics yet- but Reid says that he should be able to get me some this winter. The good news is that I also have a good upholstered set to base a mold off of- that combined with some pics should do the trick. Theyre definitely one piece.

John, I havent forgotten about you- but you may have to make the trip up to GL or LG in '09 to pick it up!

Tim-Thats what I may do. Have you come across any pictures of a bare shell? I assume they are one piece construction.

Doug, good luck- there are several of us that are searching for these buckets! I have just about resorted to making a set myself out of fiberglass.

Mustang bucket or buckets. I would be interested in just a shell if you have one. I don't need the base.
Let me know what you have
