[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 502455, member: 24594"] I can offer some ideas, but honestly, your boat presents a bit of a quandary - at least in my realm of experience. The split seat backs are something that I haven't seen before in a Deep C. However, the way they're made doesn't necessarily scream "homemade", either. There were other versions of the C hull that did offer walk-throughs, but not in the same vein. They were much deeper. The thinner versions in your boat are really more reminiscent of the split backs in a D hull, something like a Flying D. It's why I mentioned "harvested" in another comment. Nonetheless, I'll first show you mine - which is just mocked up at this point and wearing the optional bench seats- and then I'll offer some factory literature on both the Deep C (showing the benches and bimini) and also some limited versions of the C hull (showing the deeper walk-throughs, but offering upholstery patterns, at least) [/QUOTE]
