Moch Seats For The Qween

[jbing81]

Moching up some new seats for our Qween Merrie. The boat came stripped so Im building everything from the ground up. I decided to start with 2x4's, its a lot easier to swallow when a mistake is made. Once I get them fitted to the correct size and comfort zone I plan on building the permanent pair out of mahogany. I saw a post from another member and his seat build and fell in love! Ive attached a pic.

I have a 1961 Queen Merrie that I've just gutted. Getting ready to put a floor back in. Very interested in seat ideas but not sure where you are going with yours.

I'm doing simple back to back seats. The picture above is only one seat.

I plan on a 12 gal fuel tank under the port seat and 2 batteries under the starboard seat. This way the cockpit is free of all the nessessary clutter.

Once I get home I will post some more pictures of the work in progress. I got the seats in the boat last night and was toying with placement. I still need to put the seat tops on and the back rests along with some padding =).


I will more than likely use the 2x4 seats for the season and decide if I like them or not. If I decide I want to stick with them I will remove them this winter and build a pair in mahogany.
