The only seats shown in the catalogs is like the ones I showed and list in our OEM parts section. Also see page 9 of the 1974 catalog for the seats in Parchment with Brown Piping like I show.

I am uncertain if the 1970 came with the blue canvas windshield or light tan. I grew up with a 1970 and it was tan. I have more pics, including my Evinrude Surf60 lid on my personal page.
