Hi I have recently purchased a 1997 , 196 that never had a stern/rear seat . If anyone has a boat with one fitted could you please post a couple of photos of the base please. Im hoping to make a base myself and have the seat back and cushions made . Any help on this would be fantastic. Marks196 ------------- Mark Smith |

Hi, I don't have any pictures as my boat's in storage for the winter. Min doesn't look like the 97. It's a fiberglass base with the foam and upholstery attached to the base. In looking at the pictures of the 97, I'd much rather have that set up. I really like the idea of being able to remove the center cushion for stepping in from the swim platform. I wonder if the seat base from a 196 will fit? Don |

| I realize in looking at some other pictures, the later 176 or Air Tique had a move-able seat that turned into a sun platform. There are small shelves on the side of the seat back where you can rest the now raised seat bottom. I haven't seen one of these in person. |

I am guessing not. 176 beam = 88" SN beam = 91" ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Highly doubtful... different shaped boats despite the similar (max) width. If Cc was able to use a parts bin rear seat back then I bet they would have... but it’s not the same base afaik. The bases for the higher mounting of the bottom as a sun pad were pretty firmly attached to the deck if they weren’t full molded in. I am not sure if that was a later addition or just an option. Thought my early 176 had it. |
