One of mine is rotten and needs to be fixed. the other has about a year left in it. I am talking about just the wood frame. I can change over the upholstry. Where is a good source for these and how much?

Thanks!

Do you mean the plywood in the bottom?
I just reupholstered mine, I replaced the bottoms with 1/2" Starboard. It was simply a matter of useing the old plywood to make new pieces.
On my Minx, the seat is a fiberglass shell w/ two pieces of plywood screwed to the top and bottom, forming a sandwich.
If you can reuse the upholstery, replace these pieces and staple it all back together.

Bilt-Rite.

They have the mold/patterns, replaced my original Wood seat with fiberglass ones several years ago.

Thanks Lenny,
unreasonable insurance costs stopped me from buying the Spectre, no kidding. :(

Any one have a decent used X-18 interior for sale??
