Any one have a picture of the factory stern seat or, better yet, plans?

I just got a 1969 Eastport and will take pictures of the rear seat and some of the key measurements.

Just after I sent you the reply I noticed a thread the same subject and an offer to send copies of the plans. Here is the address:

Carl:
Did you get copies of those plans for the stern seat? If so, would it be possible to get a copy from you. You can e-mail me off-line, if possible.
Hope the project is moving along well.

Finally got the plans, sent to me by the customer care rep of BW. Very nice of BW and he even included a color copy of late 60's advert for the Nausett/Sakonnet/Easport.
That being said, I was disappointed by what the plans show. I somehow got into my head that the stern seat would improve accessablity to the swim platform, providing a step up to the transom. Not so. It has a fixed back which requires it to be set forward of the engine for kick-up clearance. It is essentially the pew seat but full width and set on the intermediate lips on each side.
What I was hoping for was something akin to the seat described in the thread http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000326.html and pictured in http://members.aol.com/bburtensha/montauk/seat1.jpg
and

I'll probaly adapt the plan--using the three parallel slats--but eliminate the back and somehow get it to go all the way back on the sides of motor well, akin to the molded seat shown in Cetera at: http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/cetaceaPage33.html
I think this last item is the best design.
