Now the problem,one of my fishing partners is on the heavy side and every seat he sets in has broken in the back.He is a Bass fisherman and sets the hook so hard he can throw a 4 lb bass across the boat.Hads now he breaks the backs of the seats,leaning back hard when setting the hook nomatter if its a 6 incher or 10 pounder.I like my Tritons and do not want them broken in the back which may never happen,they'll haveta be buildt pretty tuff to with stand his hook sets.
Do any of you heavier guys have special seats or maybe enforce the back to keep them from breaking???
Sorry for the long post.

Take the seat off when he goes and put on a bicycle type seat.

*LOL* I told him if he broke my seat I was going to nail two 2x12s together with angle iron and burn every thing he put on them for comfort.

The hard hooksets is a hadit alot of bass fisherman have and he has it bad.One of these days one of these days your going to fall out of the boat when the seat breaks I've told geeellion of times.
