Boat Seats. Custom seating in a Maine built Downeast boat. The seats are made from white oak. Besides the clean, nautical lines, storage was incorporated in every aspect of each seat. Under the captain's seat there is a removable foot rest where extra cables, zip ties and such are stored. The air handler for the heat and air conditioning is located in the captain's seat also.

Steel is commonly used on larger vessels, and aluminum is usually found on canoes, skiffs, pleasure craft and fishing power boats that are stored out of the water.
