I prefer to jump in the water completely, rather than just a light misting in the face...that's for wimps!

Speed is 0 at 3000 RPM, Joe ... ;-) ... ask Doran what happens when you don't connect the pitot tube at the back of the gauge.


I had that happen last year, but the tube fell off and one my nieces thought we were taking on water.

It does look good Joe, I bet it feels great to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Both,  and you forgot the digital video recorder.  (oh... and my pride)

When you get it singing right,  how about a You tube for us.  I heard they might start charging especially for music.  Had a guy who tried to tell us his GT 150 went 55 w/ a 80 Merc and a HP bronze.  I think his nose was growing too.  My 80 hp Merc went 40 at the time.  500 lb Span America.  Had my 23 bronze then.

What is the bottom of the seat cushion supposed to look like? Mine are all rotten so i need to replace but it's it just a cutout of plywood or are there certain blocks, etc that keep it in place on the base?

This is how the bottom of a CV seat looks, large piece slips under seat back and two small pieces hold it from sliding side to side on seat base.

I know mine were a piece of ply wood with a short piece of conduit screwed to the bottem of it.  Then a cross member on the base with a clip that holds the conduit.

Our GT 150 originally had a piece of pipe screwed to the seat base, snapped into a couple metal spring brackets kind a like broom holders. I don’t have any pictures, and it didn’t work out, what I ended up with a couple of 5/16 bolts on the bottom of the seat that catch a board that runs across the base. It works OK, but you would be better off finding a more robust solution.

My V-156 had a set up like that, Aluminum pipe would snap into clip.

Picture is a GT150 seat base with clip ...

Here is my only recommendation. Put some Velcro down on the lip of the cushion. I had to many scares after rough water or bumpy rides on a trailer and the cushion is laying somewhere else in the boat. Never blew out.......but, you never know.

I've had same thing happen with my seat bottoms, after some big wakes / waves,  thought vinyl straps with snaps on seat bottoms.
Never had a problem with V-156 / GT150 style clips …

Oh those pictures and ideas are perfect! Thank you for the help! Excited to get some better seats on that don't crumble beneath passengers!

Velcro would probably work okay for that application. But it might not be a bad idea to have some kinda 'tether' too. Mebbe a piece of webbing. You could put a "twist-lock" (aka common-sense) fastener on the base to make it removable?

   Hyperacme or anyone else that knows, what dimensions are your seats for the over hang? As I said, mine are rotten so I am thinking they are not hanging over the edges like they should. I want to make sure I cur the new plywood correctly as I plan on doing so tomorrow. Thanks again for your help!
