Hey guys I'm trying to build a couple buckets seats for my boat and I'm wondering if anyone have any blueprints or dimensions from some they've built in the past? Thanks

I think I have some of the original Kirkey seat drawings from the race boat. They were aluminum, but can't see why they could not be made from fiberglass or wood.

These things were so comfortable, if we weren't constantly taking flight over rapids at over 85MPH, you could have gone to sleep...

We ran a version of these guys...

Wow those look like a masterpiece. Something you want to frame and hang up in the living room instead of a TV.

They can be bought new for under $250...  Mine were powder coated white...

A piece???

Where do I find a bucket bench set that's gonna match that? Now imagine a bucket bench set that looks like that?!?!?!?!

Yeah each. I made ours. The guys at Kirkey hooked us up with a design for a fee, they could not get them make in time and our seats did not need to be SFI certified.

I always wanted to buy a third seat and cut it in half and build one with flat stock that has been broken to match the contour. How cool would that be.

I have to get my seats welded up from the Carrera so I can share some pictures. They're going to be off the hook. Just no money or time. As soon as the roof is done on the house and my solar system is up and running I will have some room to maneuver.

i tried doing his method with relief cuts and when i went to bend em, all it did was crack the outside skin of the plywood.  even tried soaking em in water.  he has some magic trick that allows him to do awesome stuff like that.

Relief cuts aren't real tough....
Not the easiest thing either if you aren't a wood worker....

I have a little something brewing....
Keep your eyes peeled.
