Bridge Seating... again

I was about to prime and paint the box we built to support the bridge seats (see Bridge Seating below) when Frances came up with a good idea.  Why not cut a door in the side of the box that supports the seats to make it easier to get to the storage space underneath? Lifting up one of the seats isn't very convenient, especially when someone is sitting on it.

Considering the length of the seat base, it made even more sense to cut two doors, instead of one. We measured and cut out two openings in the side of the seat support and will use the material we cut out as the doors.  Here's what it looks like with the door openings cut and a layer of  System 3 Epoxy resin applied to all the plywood surfaces except the bottom.

    Can't wait to see these new seats in action. On our lovely, maiden voyage of Act III, I sat in one of these seats but you were quick to point out that they were too low to allow any sight-seeing. New seat supports will definitely solve two problems; lack of elevation for proper water viewing and storage for such necessary yet bulky items like PFDs. Keep up the GREAT work.
