The seats and hardware have been re-installed. This completes the work I intended to make it ready for sale. I won't call it a complete refurbishment or anything near making it 'like-new'. It's 28 years old by the way. The keel and bottom-paint need more work, but not enough to prevent it from going in the water.
For those wondering about the uprights in the middle of the hull from previous pictures, they are not only center supports for the seats, but provide for the rowing foot braces. These were custom made for me by a machine shop out of aluminum and the two sides screw into each other with a large bolt. The uprights have 5 holes in them to adjust for the length of the rower's legs.
Also note the 'cabinet-bolts' adjacent to the oar-locks that prevent the strain of rowing from busting out the oar-locks and splitting the gunwales.
