[Imputed question: Give me a source of a fiberglass molded aftermarket swing-back bench seat that is tall enough and wide enough and deep enough so that a SCEPTER on-deck 12-gallon fuel tank of rough dimensions 23 x 14 x 14-inches will fit under the seat, and the seat will fit properly in the cockpit of a SPORT 15]
BACKSTORY: I have a 1977 SPORT 15 [that apparently is to be modified to have a] center console.

Re: Aftermarket Swing Back Seat for Modified SPORT 15
Note the 15 Sport has a very small area of flat deck where the console goes due to the hull design. I would measure the area and make a template to determine how large the console footprint can be. Compare the measurements to the Todd item.
You cut the back wall and install moulding on the cut line for a finished look.

Phils--thank you very much for the advice on the small flat deck area on the SPORT 15 and making a clean cut line.Phil T wrote:Note the 15 Sport has a very small area of flat deck....install moulding on the cut line for a finished look.

A bit delayed in posting the picture. Many thanks for the suggestions. The Wise-brand seat was a perfect addition to my SPORT 15.
