Jon Boat seats

[BottomDweller2]

Can any of you recommend a good cushioned boat seat at $50 or less? I see some different ones for sell i.e. Wise and Attwood. Bass Pro Shops also have some. My brother and I will need a seat that looks decent but also will support more than 250 lbs.

Go to the big sporting goods/hunting/fishing stores and try on some their seats, then watch for a deal on Flea-bay or C-List in your area. Not hard to find, but you have to figure out what you want by trial/error. I saw surplus, overstock boat seats of all types on sale at G-der Mountain last week...50% off would've been about $25.

I tried a bunch when I bought mine and these can't be beat for the price. I can sit comfortable for several hours.

You can get cup/tool holders that mount on those too. They're very handy. They just screw into the bottom of the seat frame.

For $40 they are hard to beat and way more comfortable than alot of WAY more expensive seats that I sat on. I was trying to stay under $75/seat and the guy at Cabelas set every seat up for in that range and those seats won hands down. Got 2 on sale with swivels for $80

Re: Jon Boat seats

I had been thinking of some seats that were completely vinyl covered like the Wise model in the link below. Have you all experienced both these types and the molded plastic ones you have in your suggested links? Do you still recommend the molded plastic over the vinyl ones I have in the link below?

Thanks,

Re: Jon Boat seats

You almost have to sit in them to determine the right seat for you. The review section when you shop online is really helpful. I think I sat in everyone under $75 that Cabelas offered and the one I mentioned earlier was the best. Some were just plain terrible or made so poorly that you couldn't lean back in them.
