Finished my duckboat

Here are the custom back rests/seats I made...


This backrest was made using two pieces of wood, some foam from an old dog bed my lab decided was a chew toy and some camo 1000 denier cordura material. I made the backrest only 8 inches wide so I could reach behind myself, to save on weight/materials/size. I cut the foam to fit one piece of wood, wrapped it in heavy duty plastic to waterproof it, then wrapped it in camo & stapeled it to the wood. The finishing piece of wood go screwed to the back and has small pieces of wood on the back so that it fits perfect as a seat or backrest and wont slide.

Here they are being used as seats

I really like that idea. Any suggestions on where to get heavy duty plastic and the camo 1000 denier cordura material?

www.rockywoods.com for the cordura, the plastic was something we had laying around, but I imagine you could probably find something similar at a local home depot or hardware store.
 
Chris,
Like the job you and your dad did on the boat. I believe I have the same duckboat with the exception of the transom board. Is your boat a marshhawk? I was told when I got mine it was made in copiague, not sure though. Any info you have on the boat would be appreciated. PM me if you like(I'll send you my cell number) and I can give you some tips on how I've been running mine for the last several seasons. Again, nice job, good luck with her. Regards, Chris
