Finally got around to putting a pedestal mount in my Jon Boat and need a top notch boat seat for a big boy. Weigh in at around 240 most of the time and need some padding for the big cheeks.
Any suggestions. Lowe Pro looks like he has some padded ones on his boat.
Help!!!
Thanks.

Tempress high backs. Catch them on sale at academy sports. Very comfortable.
My boat came with Tempress Centric seats and they are very comfortable too.
What he said. The tempress high backs are very nice. I had them on my old boat. Oh also look into the millenium seats. I hear they are hard to beat. My seats came with my boat but I can order more from the dealership I bought them from (h20 sportz)but they are way over priced. I was gonna add 2 more additional seats when I bought my boat, but at around $220 per seat I declined. When mine wear out, Im gonna go with the melleniums.Quote:

Is the Millennium B100 really sturdy and comfortable for a 240 lb. load? The one in the picture looks a bit skimpy for a fat boy!
Yes sir! Im 230 and I gotta a buddy that swears by em and he is my size. I would feel safe in it. I will say tho.... he had to do some deck work on his boat because some of his storage lids wouldnt open becaus they would hit the seat. But that may not happen on your boat. I dont know what kind of boat your using but he has a war eagle. I'm 99% sure they will fit ur bill perfectly. They are a hot commodity, so if ya dont like em you could sell em really easily. Heck I may even buy em. Im in the process of rigging me up a 12 foot jon boat for pond hopping. :biggrin
The B100's weight capacity is 400lbs. That will be the seat I buy for my jon boat.
Nothing fancy, just a 14 ft SeaArk. Here are some pictures.Quote:

Attachment 210113I put a chapereal speed boat seat in mine! It's very comfortable!!!
dude, that does look comfy. how much did it set you back and what is the make/model?? also, does it attach with a standard 4 bolt screw in base mount?
I had to make a different base for the bottom of the seat so that it would mount to a standard base. It came from a dealer in FL. customer did not like them. It was given to me.
I had Tempress high backs,and low or regular backs, hot on the bootie.... Sat in a buddies millenniums, sold said Tempress seats quick and in a hurry!! They are very sturdy,very well built and the air conditioner works on them very well. Mesh let's them air out , and also dry quickly after a rain. Back use to hurt after a few hrs. Not anymore!!
You got a nice boat man. It is set up to a T! I can tell this aint your first rodeo as far as rigging a boat. Milleniums will work great in your boat. I promise you wont regret them....If ya can get em. I have heard they are on back order, but thats a good thing right....they have to be the bomb. 100,000 crappie fishermen can't be wrong! :biggrin
well, sounds like I need to put in the order for the B100 and prepare myself to wait until the back orders catch up. thanks for the suggestions.
Anytime bud!
I know nimrod, Mickey, and mac daddy swear by tempress seats
Picked up two millennium seats last week at Grizzly Jig. Had them in stock and I love them.
Hey when mounting the seats on the base there is an arrow, make sure you point the arrow forward. I didn't do this and kept feeling like the chair was gonna dump me forward lol
hehehe, gotta put the front side to the front. went to Bass Pro this afternoon to buy a new B and M jig rod and sat in the Tempress Navistyle Hi Back for 20 minutes on a pedestal stand that was in the store. Liked it so much I went with it. Might order me a Millinium as well and put the Tempress in the back for the wifey when the back order is filled :Rofl
Thanks again all.
