Also, orange and black houndstooth vinyl is no longer available, so we went with white and a burnt orange. Finished product:

Soon...he's bringing the boat back for a cover, so I'll definitely take pics. I do know it's a tiny cockpit. The "captains chair" is the one with the cutout on the back. That's where the controls are. They made people smaller back then.
