I would now like to restore it to something closer to its original condition by installing wood gunwales so I am writing to request assistance with placement of seats and thwarts. The one I have was purchased originally with the front, center, and rear seat. I am hopeful that I can save and reuse them. One of the original thwarts has also survived the work that had been done on this hull, although it is a little ragged and I may just use it as a template for making a replacement. Looking online, I see Morningstar three seaters with a thwart behind the front seat and another behind the center seat. If someone on the forum would be kind enough to measure on their Morningstar how far from the ends the seats are located, the location and length of the front thwart, and the location and length of the center thwart, it would be a real help to me. |

Center thwart is 30 3/8/1/2 It was very difficult to get an accurate measurement with the curved lip of the aluminum trim. That is the best I could do. |
