Author	Topic:   King Starboard stern seat for montauk?
hc803	posted 09-01-2010 10:07 AM ET (US)         Has anyone made one out of this material? I bought a 1/2 inch sheet to make an electronics "shelf" out of, and thought a 1" thick piece could probably work as a seat in the back.
BeSomebody86	posted 09-01-2010 10:18 AM ET (US)             I actually have one already made that I recently removed from my 1988 Montauk. It was made by a man in Eastern NC in the 90's. I replaced it in favor of the classic teak backrest. Any idea what the value of this might be? I could be interested in selling.

dscew	posted 09-01-2010 10:49 AM ET (US)          I had a 1998 17 Standard with the OEM stern seat made of starboard. In addition to the middle support, the seat had a stainless steel pipe screwed to its bottom surface the entire length of the seat. I don't recall the thickness, but it wasn't 1". It also had a pale yellow tint after a couple of summers in the sun.

Had to buy 6 foot panels which they cut free. plan to locate 11 inch high plastic milk crate to use under seat for support.
