As part of the rebuild of the Bell Mystic was taking the bow seat out to make way for a new sliding seat from Wenonah. Due to it being custom made it will take more time then we have before the race so the old seat is going back in. Problem is the cane was rotted out, spline broken, cane a mess. I contacted my buddy and letting him know I could put webbing in with the caveat that the only webbing I had was pink and orange. After some bantering back and forth he gave in and told me to go for it, a temp seat for now. He's only condition was to forgo the varnish after sanding and paint it with as many fugly colors as I could. I will let you judge for yourself if I did a good enough job. Granted I do need to to a little touch up of the hearts, paint bled through some. Maybe this could be the new trend, fugly seats in a canoe!
I really need to heal up so I can go paddling! This down time is killing me and I have better things to do then to make a perfectly good seat look like a circus act!
