What hull number do you have and are you talking about the cockpit locker 
seats?

Subject: [Public-List] Cockpit bench seat covers

Has anyone replaced their bench seat wood - on my Alberg 30, they are 
plywood but with the seat cushions, they have delaminated rather badly.  I'd 
like to replace them with something which I can still sit on but will either 
dry out or won't delaminate but will still look nice if the cushions aren't 
down.  I was thinking of two options: adding 3/4" wide by 1/8" thick slats 
spaced at 1/4" (eg 1 slat per inch), probably mahogany unless I can find a 
bit of teak around here.  This would be on top of a new plywood cover which 
is laminated to thickness, but not cut to size yet.  Covered with cetol 
marine.  I figure with only 1/4" between slats it will still be ok to sit on 
but will dry.  I would only put the slats on the opening cover area, not the 
entire seat area.  I figure I can sit on the wood at that spacing in 
reasonable comfort.

Other option is to just replace the plywood, cover with cetol and make seats 
with a mesh bottom and the foam that allows water to run through.  I've 
never tried that foam, but it is supposed to work fairly well - the issue is 
that it still needs somewhere to go.

Anyone fixed this issue on their boat with success?

Bill.
