The Revenge Review Continuous Wave Whaler Forum e-mail: |  |
In 2003 I began work on this teak seat for my 22' Revenge. I looked at a lot of designs before I decided on this. I take the greatest pride in the tubeular backrest support. I brainstormed my backrest after I could not come up with a sturdy/good looking wood joint connecting the bench to the backrest. |

It was important to be able to remove the seat when we want to use the boat for fishing or crabing. On occasion we stern tie the boat to log booms on opening day of boating season and for the boat races. I made the seat reverseable so you can face the action on these occasions. |

I used "Gorilla Glue" and bisquits at all of the joints. Stainless hardware was used to attach the wood to metal. Finally I applied around seven coats of "Epifanes" varnish. |

I have started work on this mahogany seat for a classic Chris Craft. My teak seat hangs above to the left of the frame. I will update photos as the project progresses. Updated 4/19/04. |

This picture contrasts the two benchs. On the top is the bench for the 22' revenge made of teak. On the bottom is the bench for the 34' Vintage Chris craft stained mahogany with 4 coats of varnish so far. Note the backrest on the teak bench is narrower to allow passage to the rear of the boat.
