Given Trailcraft have been owned and manufactured in China for about 7 years getting a factory seat direct might be a little hard and freight prohibitive...
So they don’t have a shop/retailer in Melbourne?
No. WA based saltwater marine are the sole dealer/distributor of Trailcraft boats
Not like good old Haines hunters

It's about the only thing on a boat that offers comfort (other than a cabin). Your ass and back will regret those cheap seats every time you get in the boat.
What's your idea of a cheap seat?
Plastic ones that are like MCG seats lol

Exactly the ones you posted.

If that's the price range you want then I would buy the plastic ones that are like MCG seats. At least they will live up to their price.....

Last time I replaced my seats in a streaker I purchased Rae-line ones they were in Bayswater I had to take a packed lunch to go and pick them up

I think another word we are looking for is "Cost effective" and "affordable"

I wish I had one of these

But I don't.

Yes, generally, the more you pay, the more comfortable they are, no disputing that. But some of us have a set amount of disposable income, some of us even less than that. We would all love "better than what we can afford", but financial sensibility dictates to us differently.

Mr smile0784, I'd use the BB method , , , , the "Bugatti Buttocks" method. Sit on it, if your Buttocks and Back are fine with it AND your wallet is fine with it too , , , , the rest is easy

Keep in mind, some people sit on the couch, wishing they could afford a boat. We are all in different financial situations and hopefully make sensible but unfortunately, at times, hard decisions with that in mind..

Cheers, Bugatti
