You would probably need to ask the original owner(s) as no one here would know...

You can look at some of the members personal pages with Newport models to see what they have attached.
Nothing was attached from the factory except basically for the windshield, grab rail, and steering assembly....

dtopham, This may help.

This past winter I decided to do a major update of Newport. I had Hall's Nautical make a new interior set for the boat. Since I have never been a huge fan of the Newport front bucket seats I designed and had them fabricate a new front seat that looks more like a Montauk Cooler seat cushion for the font to go with the Montauk Seat Back Rod holder and cushions I have installed on the console. So, other than my boat not having the front Bucket seats and my custom RPS seat back every thing else is OEM. I also had Halls make a new RPS cushion for the boat. The other updates I did was to remove the old mahogany console cleats and made new mounting cleats out of 2" aluminum angle. I then fastened the console to the cleats using screws with self locking nuts on the back of them. This way no matter how rough the water may get the console will never come loose again. I also removed all of the railing screws and thru-bolted all of the sanctions with the same self locking fasteners to prevent the railing from coming loose as well. The final step was to refinish the forward locker hatch as well as the Sapele mahogany RPS seat back I built.



Here are some images: Link
