The fisherman ready for the finish parts to be added including seats, breast hooks, transom knees, inner gunwales, foredeck and hardware.
The simplest type of seats to install in a hull are 1 x 10 or 1 x 12 inch boards cut to shape, with a center support to help spread the load. I take my finished hulls to local boat shows so I use mahogany for the beauty of the wood but it adds a lot of weight. To keep the weight down for car-toppers I suggest using three 1 x 4 inch cedar boards edge glued together to make the thwarts. Very light weight and good looking thwarts can be fabricated by edge gluing your left over, scrap strips together and using two layers glued together to form the thwarts. You can determine the exact shape and fit for the thwarts by using tick strips at the proper locations in the hull as shown in this photo. |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15| |
