I have a '91 Team Sprint bass boat, I need to replace original bench seat which is pretty much shot. Re-upholstering is not an option since even wood frame is bad.<br />I am trying to find out where I can purhcase a replacement seat for this boat. Many catalogs have single seats, but none a 54" wide bench style.<br />Anybody has some ideas where to look ?<br /><br />Thanks

Ebb, thanks for the reply, second choice looks good but spendy.<br />Any other suggestions ?

I rebuilt a bench seat for my 87 bayliner before I traded it. Just used 3/4" marine plywood for the back part, slaped some 4" foam on it, and marine grade vinyl over it with SS staples. Was a little bit of work, but it was functional, and wasn't too bad on the behind either!<br /><br />-C17

you're dang skippy they're pricey- that's why i pulled my old covers back on, instead of going to upholstery shop. you should run a search from Internet Explorer. i looked in 11pgs of Iboats MegaMall, but didn't see any bench seats. <br /><br />you could call iboats for help maybe?<br />Toll-Free Orders: 1-800-869-1686 or 1-877-857-0244

Ebb, I think I will go with 3 new nice folding seats, they will look good and I will be able to fold them down to protect them while traveling.<br /><br />I spent 2 hrs this morning searching and calling, but results are WAY too much for this old men (penny picher.... ;) )
