I wanted to create that new-boat look. Or would this not work on a typical 18' boat anyway?

Definitely not for the 18 ft jet boat, try a barrel seat or short bucket seat. they are a lot cleaner look IMO.

From what I heard, Kim hansen knows where to get high back buckets. I would recomend not going that route. You can build a set that looks similar but keep the profile low.

Im in GA. I have no idea how much a full interior will cost. Right now it just has buckets in the front. No back seats.
This is currently what it looks like:
Im not feeling the paint job but I probably can get by like it is for the upcoming season.

if you have any wood working skills at all, the seats are pretty simple to make. I made a complete interior for a boat I had a couple of years ago that came out great. After building the seat frames, I covered them all in fiberglass. I doubt those seats will be coming apart anytime soon.
Before getting the high backs, you should unbolt your existing seats and raise them up about a foot. That will give you an idea of what it will look like with the seat backs up higher.

I think what he really wants (and thinks having the seats might help?)

to hell with the broads lol...i want the boat...that things gotta fly! 100+ easy...i personally think he should leave his seats alone...they look good...put some cushions behind the seats & spend the money on the paint job

Looks like all I had to do was type in "racing seats" in the google search engine.

Id have to do some measurements to see how it would look,I dont want them sticking up too much, I just want that hold-on-to-your-ass hightech rollercoaster look. oh well.
