Fountain of Youth for Boats in Mukwongo, southwest of Milwaukee. They were at the Milwaukee boat show and had binder full of pictures of interiors they did. It looked like they do nice work. Their # is 262-363-3750
Fountain of Youth is good, but very expensive... I used to deal with them frequently when I lived in s.e. Wisconsin.

http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gifThe wood is ok starting to get soft in spots. On the seats that is.but it is all intact.the wood could be used to make new paterns. I called mate they dont have any patterns from the 70's.I didn't think to ask if they could custom make it.I'll call again. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif
