I had one of those as a first boat but never had it in the water. Yours looks a lot better than mine did.

Thanks it was a fun boat to build I put a transom and new floor in it and many more things basically took an old boat and completely rebuilt it from bottom up inside and out it was a very great ridding boat good for playing around but it had a bad chine walk after about 65mph never did get much more than 69mph out of it would just about throw u out of it always thought about putting a pad on it then I seen a vector and I had to have me a stream

The seats are great. I would love to get some for the Viking. If anybody knows who sells them, let me know. Thanks

My 1976 CobraJet has seats like that and they are 100% original and they are back to back seats.
