266 FV cockpit seating removal

I have a 88 250 FV.  Two years ago I re-upholstered the seating.  I believe yours is much like mine.  The "L" shaped seating, cushion is one piece and the backrest is four pieces.  They are all secured to the wood base/backrest with large velcro type strips stapled to the wood.
I had to use the old seat framing as patterns, and completely rebuilt them with new marine plywood.  It took some time, but I did it over the winter while the boat was laid up. 
The base frame was ok, so I left it alone.  The dry rot was pretty much confined to the backrest framing, and all of the wood supporting the seating pieces.
