does anyone here think it is okay to cut and shut a seat from a sierra to fit

Lot of work not too mention heavy

thought it would be just have an issue with money
i did see in a book about making seats out of plywood and foam but dont like the idea of plywood just
incase of water if you know what i mean

If you going to use wood use marine ply.

TBH In a seven, you can probably get away with just 2 covered foam cushions per side - the ali / steel forming the cockpit will give it a firm base.

Dave,
If you give up on the making your own front I do a seat that fits the Tiger Cat and it will miss that sierra bit in the floor. Somewhere I have pictures of a Tiger Cat fitted with some, the fella is up in Grantham If I remember right.

The cut and shut seat method worked for me, I used Manta GT/E Recaro seats, took 1" from the middle of the passenger seat and 2" from the drivers. I only used the bases, and used Cavalier SRi rear seats for the backs (same material).
They are quite heavy though, and soak up water like a sponge
