Are Plastic hinge seats any good.

[mrtool2u]

I am looking at putting some new seats in my boat,and my buddy has a boat shop,and in his new flyer,they have some seats that I like the look and price of.They are B&M seats,with a plastic frame,but they also have plastic hinges.Is this a bad thing,or are they pretty tough.Any and all info much appreciated.

What sort of outboard engine are you gonna mount seats on, MrTool? <br /><br />Seriously, though, I have a Navistyle folding seat with plastic frame and hinges that is great. The ones with aluminum frames and hinges that I have had were very poor by comparison.<br /><br />Moving this to Boats.<br /><br />Good luck.

If these hinges are in strips and have a "V" notch where they flex, they'll probably outlast the boat. The more they're used, the stronger they get.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty
