Here are a couple of photos of my seats on the port side of the boat. These will make the dinette. I had never worked with Formica before so I ordered just enough to do one seat. It turned out great and it was very easy to put it on. It's a good thing I didn't discover this before or I'd have Formica all over the boat. I know that will cause some wooden purists to cringe but this boat is made for fun and for folks to use it. Formica for the seats and galley makes a lot of sense to me. There will be some nice varnished trim on all the corners so it will have a nice nautical look. I'll also have varnished hatch/door covers for the openings.

It's working out well that I can remove the seats by simply unscrewing them from their mounting blocks and take them back out of the cabin. If it ever came to be that I had to cut out my fuel tanks, I could do that without destroying the rest of the interior. The shade of white I got is a perfect match for the paint I'm using for the rest of the interior. As soon as I have all the seats and galley made, and all the mounting blocks in place, it will be time for final sanding, priming and painting then I'll have to make cushions for the seats. It's also time to start running wire for the lights and electronics. One thing always leads to 6 more... ;-) I think it's coming along well.
