Boat seats are often very expensive and it is not so easy to find them cheap. I started looking for an online tutorial on building a custom boat seat but had no luck finding it so I decide that I will try to build seats for my boat on my own.

I am a big DIY fan and there is quite a lot of things that I already built for my boats. I used some marine graded plywood to build a frame for my seat and additionally protected it with some marine paint and this. I had drawn a few sketches of how I wanted my seats to look like and started to calculate the amounts of materials needed for the job. I planned everything very well so at the and I came up with this great tutorial with all the answers provided for those of you who would like to build you custom boat seats. Not only you can save a lot of money by doing this yourself but you will find out that the same skills are used to make yourself new kitchen or bar chairs.

I spent a lot of time surfing the internet to find seats for my last boat building project.
