Hi. I'm thinking about purchasing a 1994 GLS 13. I prefer the wooden sport and super sport interiors and I was wondering if it would re possible to replace the fiberglass seating and console on the GLS with one of the wooden options from the 80's. I'm assuming the hull is the same but I may be wrong. If it was going to be a major project with a lot of gel coat repair I would pass. Thanks in advance.


(EIDT: please follow guideline #1 on the front page and use the full 4 digit year)

The hull is the same. You'll have to fill in some holes where the previous fiberglass seat was mounted.

I just bought a 1996 GLS.
Don't care for the fiberglass seats either.
I was able to mount some swivel seats except for helm.
The seat mount holes are forward, but seats I bought are too long for that position.
I don't know what it is about the GLS, but can't find cushions anywhere.
I guess everyone install aftermarket seats?
