Has anybody come up with a design for a seat or at least something to lean on while at the wheel of a 1980 Catalina. Sitting on the locker isn't an option if you want to see forward. Jim G.

Thanks for the reply. This looks very nice. At the price, I might be hinting to the kids for next winters Christmas present !. Jim G.

To 'Try this'.

Had to chuckle at your reply Dave but at nine bucks I have to take a look at this. Thanks. Jim G.

Seat at the wheel

Jim G: What I used on my 1981 C30 was an inexpensive fishing seat that I purchased at West Marine. It folds in half nicely for storage and was pretty comfortable.
