Hi - tried searching and have been unable to find info on this.

? how many different (driver / rear ) seating options did the Newport 17 have available ?

Most pictures that I'm finding online seem to show an RPS type seat. However I recently saw a Newport that had two double/sided fold down type seats. So a cluster of seats for four. Kind of like the seats you used to see in runabout in the 70's/80's, but next to each other in a cluster. They appeared to be original.

Any idea if this setup was stock or a stock option?

How many different seating options were there?

Any complications with changing to a RPS type seat?
