One of the things I would like to change this year is the seating on the passenger side. I have seen pictures of V21's with back to back seats on that side but I don't want to lose access to the baitwell/fishbox on the passenger side. The boys used to want nothing but the cuddy, they'd go in there and nap and then wake up when we got to the fishing spot, now they want to be outside and having one on the passenger side and one behind me on the captain's seat whilst I am standing and driving....lets just say its not the preferred setup. Ideas on how to get a back to back on that side? Is there a slider mount that is able to be purchased or?????

I've got the original slide/track that came on my v21 back to back seat, you can have it if you want to pay shipping from Wilmington, NC.

OK..here you go...



Get one of these...when running, sit it up between the two existing seats...when fishing, turn it around facing rearward...go ahead and get a pair of them, that way in the summer, you can use in back them for all to sit...I've had a pair for years and they very stable and ride well...

Tryin' to put seating on that tank lid is gonna be a BEEYATCH...

My track must be the original one that came with the boat. I have looked all over it and can not see the Manuf name. My seats need to get replaced this winter or in the spring. Does any one know a good place to get replacement's. The treated wood is coming apart under the seats it makes a mess on deck and plugs the through hulls up( Not a good thing! ).

As long as the vinyl is worthwhile, it's easy to replace the wood backing...remove all staples and pull the old wood out for a pattern...Lowes has SS staples these days and staple guns are cheaper than seats...

Yup, I've got two of those and it's very nice......civilized even.........and much more comfortable than trying to " sit " in my previous center console boat.

I have two e-sea rider bean bags and they are, by far, the most comfortable seats on the boat.

My kids used to bring their beanbag chairs with them on the boat when they were smaller, they could lay in them and nap at a moments notice.

Bean-Bags like the E-Sea Rider are great!!...I think better for long haul, offshore rides and returns...and the kids love 'em!!...but for ridin' around in the boat for a day or so, the folding chairs seat passengers up higher so they can see and be up where the permanent seats are...boils down to personal choice...
