I've found that to be the case too, Tom, when checking out cockpit seating at boatshows. About the only seats I've found fit my posterior as well as Busca's are the Hallberg-Rassys, but then their pricetag doesn't fit my wallet nor their large size my needs.

At the comfort and usability of the M17 cockpit. Walking the docks at our large, sailboat-only marina last weekend, not one boat, regardless of size I might add, had as comfortable a seating arrangement as the Montgomery 17. Astonishing. tom _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats No virus found in this incoming message.
