You can use chart paper to trace out the template, then transfer it to a piece of 1/4" marine plywood. I have the 1997 Challenger, and if your talking about that little seat up front, where everyone steps on it when getting into the boat, I actually did away with mine, and put down a piece of Hydro-turf, that I cut to forum fit that bench area. It's great for stepping into the boat, plus gives my kids a soft area to sit when I'm cruising the creek. Hope that helps a bit.
