Build Your Own Boat Bench Seat

The vinyl all throughout the boat was pretty much shot so in my ultimate wisdom i decided to take on the project and redo the interior.

Build your own boat bench seat.

Boats are fun but there s an old saying that they just make a big hole in the water where you put your money. Boat seats are generally constructed using treated plywood as this is a cheap and easy material to work with. At our shop we have a special rate called boat rate this bench will end up costing way more than it should but everything on a boat does. Heck i sewed back in middle school what was that.

Yet another easy to build diy bench is available at my outdoor plans. They can be used to replace a storage area lid or the panels covering the in board motor cavity. The boat is an inboard outboard so there is a padded motor box in the back with a custom sized jump seat on each side of the motor. For the do it yourself boat owner this means seating for those friends and storage for those toys can be combined in a single unit where the seats have compartments below to store water toys and gear that would otherwise be underfoot when underway.

The whole bench is 58 long. There are also kits which can be purchased from specialist shops in order to build a boat. Bench seats are ideal for the boat as they can be used for sitting or sunbathing. All the details and pictures necessary to build this bench are included in the plan.

A homemade boat can be made from fiberglass aluminum steel or wood. It calls for several 2x4s of various lengths for the legs trim and seat. Boat bench seats are an easy way to increase the amount of seating area in your boat and they also enable you to make the most of limited space.
