Hi Sheppie62

Like your rinsed folded seat!
That is a nice idea!
Gives you the space to move about and pops you up for a clearer more comfortable view.
Nice!

"Blueprint"? You are old school. The closest I've ever gotten to 'blue' prints are blue line copies of hand drawings on sepia and Mylar sheets from a Diazo ammonia machine. And I was pretty young back then. :D

Thank you! I am trying to figure out what to put under steering wheel. I first thought a 4” kayak hatch in the existing hole with a bag. Now I’m thinking a pocket/ bin made of plastic starboard type material for my wallet/ keys/ etc.
