bottoms like like 3/4. i also measured 22x43 in the boat today. front corners are round back are square (or round them off to be flippable) dont remember how tight they fit.

went in garage i have two cushions with wood support in the bottom of them. one is 22x183/4-19 the other is 22x23 3/4. i'll still double check tommorow.

i have a 84 offshore ill measure tommorow if not raining.
