[Rhodes22-list] cockpit filler support panels

[Chris Cowie]

Has anyone recently purchased a cockpit filler system from Stan and how does that compare to what others are doing?  The newer boats have a rail that runs around the edge of the cockpit seats that I assume is designed to accept the filler panels and that a filler cushion or two would be made to fit between the seat cushions?

Stephen,
