I am restoring a 15 sport and looking for ideas on the inside configuration
I would like to have a backrest on the rear seat with a storage box built around the backrest to put some speakers and store safety equip, flares, ect
right now its just a hull while i wait on the mohagany interior to be delivered to go inside
so thoughts, suggestions, comments?

Binkie nice work I really like what you did. What do you plan to power with?

Here is what I did. I think it's pretty close to the original SS configuration.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

I reworked a 1988 15 Super Sport this year. The previous owner had put a 15 gal. fuel tank under the helm seat which required the plastic storage box be cut to accomodate its size. I kept that configuration plus raising all the seating and console by 3 inches. This gave me a much better seating posture and allowed the battery to be placed under the console. This suits my needs better than the original layout plus clearing out the area behind the helmsman seat.

wlagarde, As of now the 1999 C60 Yamaha stroke outboard is installed, along with a new Yamaha binnicle control and wiring harness with key switch. Still have to install the tach and speedo. It'll then be ready to run and test.

Rich sounds awesome. Must be nice to live in Florida where you get warm weather year round...Be sure to update your pictures with the engine installed.
