It is both higher and further aft than the original location. It's also, strangely enough, made of aluminum, with a wooden top. I don't believe the aluminum part was original, and I wonder where it came from. I think the seat may have been moved to fit this foreign seat in this particular hull -- the original location would have required a shorter seat. There is a line of 6 rivet holes where the original probably was. Because of the (also unusual) longer foredeck, anyone sitting on the original forward seat would have had to face aft. The new seat location does allow a forward facing position for a passenger.[ATTACH=full]109857[/ATTACH]The underside of the aluminum seat is stiffened with heavy corrugations.[ATTACH=full]109858[/ATTACH]There are no cleats on the boat, which is going to make docking difficult on the maiden voyage. I think I see where they may have been located originally, where there are 2 rivets:[ATTACH=full]109859[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
