Pilot House Seating

[GoodChance]

Getting ready to re-do the seating arrangements is a 1986 Souwester. Right now I have a bench on the port and starboard sides. In addition to the forward-facing port seat, I'd like to add a aft-facing bench seat on the port side with a small table between the 2.

Anyone have an arrangement like this? Do you have a picture that you can add?

Chris, Not sure what kind of room you have in your pilothouse. However here is the dinette with tackle storage on my boat:

Thanks Greg. Please do me a HUGE favor.

1) Measure the depth of each seat (ie the "forward/aft" length of the seat itself)
2) Measure length of the "open" area between each seat (again, the forward/aft length)
3) Measure width of the table, and
4) what is the overall length of the entire configuration from the back of one seat to the back of the other? (do not include the length of the tackle station; just to the back of the cushions)

What Bill did for you is basically what I want to do in the Parker.

Right now my 25 Parker has a port-side seat (facing forward) that is 20" long; I have a total of 60" in the cabin that I can play with to try to get a 2nd seat and table installed. 60" minus the 20" already taken by the current seat yield 36 to 40"; if I install a small forward (aft-facing) seat of just 20" that leaves me with 16" of open space under the table. Tight but doable I think.

I'm very interested in hearing what your seating/table dimensions are.

Did you look around the forums?

The 2530 model has a dinette in it, I'll try to find a good pic of mine.

Forum member Tara has built a dinette in his too.

The 2330 or 2320EC model also has what your looking for.

Hey Chris. i will see if i can get measurements tonight or tomorrow morning and pm them to you.

No need Greg. Already figured it all out w/o your exact measurements.

Your picture was a great dealk of help to me and allowing me to visualize what I needed to do. I even had some extra Nida-core laying in the garage that was finally put to good use in constructing the aft-facing seat. Everything is tabbed together now.

Thanks
