New boat seat for the back..

Not the back of the boat...MY Back! I did a lot of reviewing and finally decided to break down and get something better for my poorly vertebraes. If youll remember my wonderful vacation in arkansas...I went this past weekend on one of those 40 year old seats and it likened to kill me. FIgured Id better invest in something better. I like this one so far..Made in USA..big plus. Tempress Navistyle. Lots of good reviews. Ill know how an 8 hour day goes in it come Saturday. http://assets.academy.com/mgen/03/10...jpg?is=500,500

​That looks comfortable. What kind of seat are you replacing?

These are what was in there...the vinyl is in great shape but age taken its toll on the foam underneath...after a couple hours might as well not be any foam. Attachment 200350

I put mini van seats on my boat ...I almost put heated Cadillac seats but y'all talked me out of it[emoji1] the seats are very comfy but I still only need the edge of it

No deep seat sitting in my boat[emoji13]

I know - That may be my problem too...too much time to sit back and slouch instead of being on the edge of my seat settin the hook on fish. :biggrin

Congrats on the arkie crankbait. I can't wait to see your review ... hope you win first prize[emoji471]

Hah thanks...Im surprised I got in on it...it was 9:05 last night when I remembered it and figured it would be done and closed...I checked in on it and noone had even replied yet. Ive been wanting to put more effort into pushing/pulkling cranks here on Bistineau. It will be tough with all the brush and stumps but I know a few spots that may pay off pretty well.

Don't do it you'll be hooked worse than the fish[emoji383][emoji385][emoji383]

I replaced my seats with a set of them. They are not uncomfortable. Better than the seats Alumacraft originally put in the boat. They keep your back in a straight up position.

Thats what I like to hear! Definitely more than what I wanted to pay for a new seat but with my back in the shape its in its definitely money well spent. And Ive also heard there are some out there that cost 2-3 times as much that arent as good. So I think I did ok.

You did well. I wouldn't think there isn't such a thing as spending too much money on a seat if it's better for your back.

Also made in USA, I have those, and have had them 3 years now. Nice comfortable seats for my back.

me too!

Looks like a good seat. I have the same problem with my back. I bought millennium seats. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

You will love them BT can not find a thing wrong with mine over two years old.

Me too....back problems and arthritus.....Changed my Tempress seats out and put in Millenniums......can sit for 8 hrs. now in comfort....they are really great.

got a link for Millenniums. seats ? tia

That is the only seat I have been able to sit in all day without my back and hips killing me. Think you will like it. Only thing I found when mounting the Tempress seem to be tilted forward to much for me. I just got a couple of longer bolts and added a couple of 1/2 in spacers to front 2 holes and it is just right.

Cray thanks for this info. That has been the only thing I didn't like about mine. I like to recline just a little bit when sitting. Those seats do put me straight up. It is fine for the running seats. I have a new project for the boat now.

Ive heard that also...Already had that exact idea in mind if they happened to be too upright..but thats kinda what im wanting right now...
On that subject...when I pulled that old seat off and looked underneath it someone had done something similar with an old wooden yardstick across the front two mounts....pretty funny..wish I knew how long that thing had been under there..

That looks like a very nice seat, Progator135. You will enjoy that. Congratulations! Those crappie better watch out now since you will be able to fish longer.

Lets hope so..:pray

Well if for some unknown reason you don't like your new seats I can fix you up

You can sit in this thing all day long and when you get tired it reclines back for nap time[emoji42]

haah Thatll work! To be honest..vehicle seats have been the worst thing for my back. The drive to/from work kills me. But that would be a sight to see a boat with those in it!!

I got Scotchgard[emoji6]

Love the bowling trophies. Every boat should have a couple.

I bought the bass pro tempest knock offs and will say that my back feels a lot better after sitting in the boat all day!]Attachment 200647

Long slow day in the boat for those hard to catch post-spawn crappie. Cant say I'm pain free but I'm much better off than on the old seat. Definitely a good purchase.
