We're moving right along on our TotalBoat Sport Dory build. This week we're going to install our seat risers. This was a tough decision about how to exactly install our risers so that we would have the most amount of flexibility in regards to moving our seats forward or aft.
In the end we decided to make the risers out of one long piece of lumber so that we can move the seats position at any time. We also cut a 15 degree bevel into the seat risers on one side so we wouldn't have to steam bend or twist the pieces into position.
Once we have one side of the seat risers done we can simply lift the position of the starboard side from the sheer and then transfer that to the port side and fasten the second seat riser into position.
The final step is to prepare our breast hook for a final fitting. We've made this out of some great wood and the inwhales will actually run into the stem and transom and cover the stem and the smaller screws as well.
