|
|
I just got an 89 supra comp last weekend and there is no rear seat. So I am thinking about building a rear seat for it.
Just wondering how hard of a process this would be? I am basically thinking about just building the frame and having a seat cushion made by the upholstery shop I know of |

I have the same problem with my ski nautique 89. I tried the fat seat and it worked well but I wanted something more permanent.
I bought a poly tank which fits perfect, and will act as a ballast also.
Now I am building the seat bottom which will sit on the tank.
Then I will build the back and then get them all upholstered.
I have time, notice the ice in the lake behind the boat (pic from this weekend) _________________ Boating in th Adirondacks |

I bought the tank from these guys:
http://www.plastictanks.ca/catalog.php?gclid=COLbiO-XmY4CFSCTWAodxmNjZA
They are located in Canada.
They have all sorts and can even put in threaded fitting where you want.
I also found thes guys
http://www.plastic-mart.com/index.htm
I think they are in the states.
I didn't build in any auto pumping stuff. I put a deck inspection cover in the middle and fill with abilge pump over the edge of the boat and I just put in a 3/4" drain line with valve on end and drain it into the bilge of the boat.
We can wake surf with the tank full and three adults in the back corner.
I hope this helps
I hope that helps _________________ Boating in th Adirondacks |

sorry to dig up old threads. I just joined here, and was looking through the DIY sections. I LOVE this idea.
I was looking at building a custom seat that I could put a fat sac into. But I think this will skip a step for me and get the same result. Have you got a price break down of what that tank costed.
I am wondering if my local farm supply store will have something like this. I bet they would. Then a thin covered foam padding for the top, and the rear and you have a seat, and ballast all in one.
Perfect! Keep the good ideas coming guys _________________ I am not very good. But LOVE to fly! |
