Quick question - Did Chis Craft provide matching seat cushions as part of the original 1948 17 foot Deluxe Runabout interior? If not, were they an option that could be ordered with this model in 48?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: 48 Deluxe Runabout Interior
On the hull card for our 1948 Deluxe, under upholstery, there are checkmarks for: "fwd. cockpit, 3, stern cockpit, 3". Thus 6 cushions came with our boat in addition to the one-piece seat backs and bottoms. Don't know if that was special order or standard.

The original factory drawings I have show the 6 cushions.

Re: 48 Deluxe Runabout Interior
The boat would have come with 3 cushions in each cockpit, most Chris Crafts (I have never seen a deluxe any other way) came with individual seat cushions. If you are looking at getting them made Jack Mayeaux 503-267-8824 can make them for you and send them your way. He has the patterns for the full interior.
