Default Back 2 Back seat

Anyone know a good source for QUALITY seat?
Don't want cheap...want quality.

Does anyone make a starboard seat (not plywood)?

Tx, Bill

Hate to tell you, but a few years back I was shopping for one and they were ALL CHEAP and none were the right height, all short for 17 foot lake boats. Had a carpenter friend build a new base and a rich guy yacht captain friend get the cushions redone.

Yep...that's why I asked...they all look "cheap". Maybe I'll build my own out of starboard this winter...might be best solution.

Bill, Here is a thread that I started a little over a year ago. I ordered a seat from Overton's. When it came it was much shorter than the original seat and cheap too (quality not price). In the thread someone mentioned a company where you could have one made and better quality,but of course more expensive.

Also here is a picture that was in the gallery section that shows how to add height to the currently available seats.
Good Luck.
Fred

did a really nice job on my seats .. custom made... choose your color pattern... and you also have a height option which was key. I bought some Wise seats and when I got them I realize they were crap along with not being tall enough. I ended up going a few inches higher after realizing you can get a better view.. all marine grade plywood..... took almost 2 months for them to build and ship.

they will send sample material swatches to make sure you match up your color correct

Just got the V back from the Shop after 5 weeks! Under the Cushions they have hole drilled out in the plywood for drainage.Best part is you can color coordinate the seats with the hull stripes! All hardware seems to be stainless and aluminum except the rivets on the track (doesn't make sense ). Please excuse the mess... its been sitting under a tree for 5 weeks
