Kaz ( http://millbrookboats.com/ ) now builds a flatwater boat. He may have sliding seats. He's a sponsor of C-Boats too 8)

Wenonah used to have a "universal" sliding seat kit. There were some good parts in it, but you didn't need it all & you needed to make some stuff too. I don't see it on their web-site now.

The main members are more or less "gunwale dimensioned" ash backed up with aluminum angle and washers. That was the original seat.

Hey had no idea that you guys had answered this, thanks.

I did talk to Kaz and he was helpful. The Swamphen would be an option but this collegiate series has a 16% rule for width instead of the standard 15% you see with most other series.

Sbroam... I picking up on the fact that you make most anything.

Thanks again, I think that we are going to go with some Mohawk intrepid 17. They seem to be well suited for the race and meet the requirements.
