I have resently traded up to a 245 from a 205. I now have a 1989 245 and the one of the former owners made a seat base for the L seat out of 3/4 inch plywood so I am going to try and copy the original. So can someone please get me some measurements of a seat base if u still have a original. All help would be greatly appreciated.

I rebuilt my l-lounge on my 238 which is similar but I used the old rotted one to start, traced all holes after removing hardware. then I assembled the seat back to the plywood only and placed on the hinges to mark where mounting holes go. I guessed larger where the rotted section was and trimmed to fit exact
there is no exact measurments you have to do a dry run to make sure it fits properly.
mine was cut from one single sheet of 3/4 ply and there is also a 1/2 inch ply build up area where the hinges mount

thanks for the info but the bottom is good on the actual seat. I need the measurements of the base it self the part the swivel mounts to and then the seat mounts on it and it to the floor.

thanks for the info thought
