How did you do a combination of hand and foot throttle? Do they work in tandem? Great yellow :wink:

Custom linkage on the carb allows for both hand and foot throttle.

Very nice job. I actually kind of like the front seat arrangement. Someone spent some pretty good money (or a lot of their own sweat) to reconfigure the deck/dash/cockpit tub to make those front seats work.

depends how you ride it, if you have some waves and speed those seats will have no lateral support- but it looks like you can bend them to the back and have a huge lying surface :sombrero:

Yes, to reconfigure that tub is a LOT of work. You could easily re-do that front bench.............

Both front seats fold down to allow the people in the back to lay their legs flat. Great for watching fireworks or lounging. It also has a bit of storage under those for ropes, etc.

Just wondering, what was the thought on the cushion color and what paint did you use to refinish the boat?

Cushion color was just something different-I've seen it done in a lot of red boats. Like a ferrari color.

Boat was painted with Interlux. Was done before I had the boat
