Ply will be ok if it's treated OK
Alternatively, ali / steel bent to shape

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
