I have a 19' Thompson open bow fish/ski boat which has the back to back lounge seats which I have never liked. I want to remove them and put in 2 swivel bases with seats. I'm sure I want the 15" pedestals. I have looked on line at BPS, Cabelas, Overtons.
My question is, who has made this upgrade?, what did you choose?, are you pleased and would recommend your choice?
I'd like to stay around $150.00- $200.00 for each.
Thanks for any input.
I had an old Glastron Runabout that I converted to a fishing boat. I had the jump seats also. I removed them and put in exactly what you're talking about. I got the seats on line, I think 2 for $50-$60. Got em online, just can't remember where. They were just the cheap Wise seats but comfy. The pedestals and swivels from BPS. It was definitely under $100 to make the conversion. You will be surprised how much walking around room you will have after its done.
Check out Grizzly Jig store. They have a bunch of seats and pedestals.
Good prices too! Thanks.Quote:

Never noticed any squeaks and noise with mine. Here is where I asked several questions about the millennium seats when I was looking into buying mine. Hope this helps you also with questions about these seats.

If your a tall guy 15in. pedestal will work. If your under 6ft. I would go with the 13in. Dont forget the seat base is another 3in. plus the seat. But if the 15 is too tall you can always shorten them, not hard to do.
Thanks scrat ...Quote:

What ever seats you buy, make sure they meet the intended requirements. IF these seats are to be used while under power (greater than 5 mph), then you need seats and seat bases rated for it.
Thanks Hanr3.
I had to go to Gander Mtn. to get a gift for my son and while I was there I saw Wise extendable (14-17") pedestal bases so I bought a pair. I'm still waiting on ordering the seats till after Christmas.
I was hoping that screws were included in the bases, but they were not. I'm guessing the largest stainless screw that will fit in the drilled out base is the size I should go with. (?)
I believe the largest screw is a 14 or 16. I took the base to the hardware store and matched it up.
