Boat seat suggestions?

Post by smile0784 » Wed Feb 06, 2019 5:21 am

While the boat was off getting its service I had the boat seats looked at.
Just to rebuild base and back. Will be $300 for both.

Davey marine have these ones for $210 each then install.

Kinda bit high I think.

That are your thoughts on something like 2 for $175

Or I like these

For $110

Any idea

The last thing I would want to put on my boat are cheap seats.

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.

I went the cheap $30 on mine. I agree with your thoughts. Will upgrade at some point.

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?

If it was my boat, I’d probably spend a bit more and get something comfy. I have nice comfy bolster ones in mine.

No. WA based saltwater marine are the sole dealer/distributor of Trailcraft boats
