I was in the process of resrtoring my 1968 katama when hurricane Ike hit on September 13, 2008. I had aquired just about all the parts and pieces and had setteled on a plan of action, had just installed a new johnson 90hp e-tac and new fuel tank and steering. I setteled on replacing the original bench seat with a reversable pilot seat and had literilary just recieved the new seat cushon from a Lady you guys recomended who had an upolistery shop in the florida keys. she was supposed to be the best in the buisness and the seat bottom was beautifull , but before I installed it, it floated away with all the other equipment and furnature that was in the downstairs of my house in Bayou Vista, Texas.

I am rebuilt now, and am ready to start back on the boat. Fortunatly I had the presence of mind to drive it up to my sons house in houston where it weathered the storm much better than the rest of my stuff.

I would appreciate some help with getting back in touch with the seat cushon supplier in Florida, as well as help locating plans or documentation on the bow locker cover (mahogany I think) and the other mahogany trim, and the canvas. This model had a canvas windshield and bimini top. I lost the stainless frame for the bimini as well as alll the vinyl edging around the fiberglass console.

Any help with suppliers, pointers, plans etc... will help me to get my head back into this project.

Thanks,
Pete Charnock
