Has anyone added bow seats to their Capella? Seems simple enough as a DIY project. My preference would be the type that fold up for access when needed. Thoughts? Photos?
Thanks!

Re: Bow Pulpit Seats
Phil,
I have done what you are asking. I bought the components, had the rails bent by a local welder for a few bucks and a 6 pack. I used one of the existing lifeline stantion bases and then added another base to handle the other end of the new rail. Then I bought the seats from http://www.zarcor.com yo hang off the new rails. Work like a charm. They even have cup holders. Someone is always sitting on them when we are on the water. See the attached pic.

Nice work!
My bow pulpit is set up a little different - no horizontal frame for attachment - see attached photo for reference.
