Bought this with an intent to rebuild to bass boat status , but after cleaning it out it seems it's already there. Trying to figure out how to add storage with cluttering it up. Any suggestions...

Started cleaning the boat. Pulling what easy on tge carpet. Trying to dry it out. Once tagged I'll take it to car wash and try and clean under the aluminum. Replace any steel bolts previously used by prior owners with stainless. Brushing anything removes paint.
 
Trying to find photos of another to see what it looks like new and see if they have any mods . Not found a single picture anywhere...
 
........looking for plastic cleaning recommendations...

Plastics can also be media blasted, it just takes a different media to do it, one that's not abrasive like aluminum oxide. Walnut shell media may be an option. Talk to who ever did your hull and see what they'd suggest. You may be time and money ahead to just replace the seats. You can usually find them reasonably on Craigslist for example. Just a suggestion.
 
I am afraid you will find that plastic is going to be extremely brittle and UV deteriorated. In some cases you can brush it with a real fine wire brush and then dye (paint) it with automotive upholstery/plastic dye to it's original color. It is called vinyl, plastic and carpet dye.
 
Krylon fusion is your friend for those plastics. Spray them and use until you really have to replace might get a few more seasons. Anything else and you're just weakening it more
 
Looking for the easiest wiring diagram. 2- 3 batteries. One fir trolling battery. Looking for best deal on batteries right now.
