Millennium seat differences

I'm looking at getting a new seat for my bow deck. I see that the SW100 straps are adjustable and the aluminum is anodized, but that is all I can find that is different than the B100. What justifies the extra $70 for the SW100, over the B100? Is it the salt water/big boat "tax"?

Are also a little bit wider, and you can tell the difference when you pick each one up. We had the the B100's for 4 years and love them. But the SW edition is the bomb!

prices are all over the place, I still list the B100 and the SW100 with only $40 difference.

Salt water is heavy duty for a big guy it’s worth the difference in money

Thanks for all the replies. I'm only 210lbs, so I think the B100 should suffice.

What are your current prices? I'm seeing shipped prices of $90 for the B100 and $160 for the SW100.

If I remember correctly, you're a guide. If so, I'm impressed they've held up that we'll for that long

I am a guide on KY and Barkley Lakes and my five B100s are like new after 4 years of abuse and clients who hung over both sides of the seat. I installed the Podunk Ideas Da Chair Holdit brackets on all of mine like are pictured above. They eliminate the strap and allow much freer movement in the seat.

It was your posts I had read, that I was thinking about. Thanks

Get your seats, come down to the KY Lake ShinDig on Nov10-11 and Rickie will put the brackets on for you. He'll have them plus his other items as well. Cornfield Crappie Gear items will be there also.

I wish I could! My four-year-olds birthday comes first though.

Lol, I have fished this year just as much as a guide from Mississippi to here at home! I've thought long and hard about that venture, and there is only one place I would want to guide and that is in 'Sippi!
MRDUX had me talked out of guiding now twice in the past 12 months. Not sure if it was for protecting future financial reasons or protecting the future of our fishery!!!!!! Lol

When you are running down the lake with a pair of B100s on the bow, how bad is the view? I want a pair BAD, but it seems like the driver's view would be severely limited.

Not an issue at all in my center console while I'm standing up running it. The seats do fold down to a small profile. I wouldn't ever let that keep me from buying them. Heck, I'd take them off the pole and lay them in the floor before I ever considered not buying them.

BTW, I bought and paid for mine just like anybody else. Gene got the check to prove it.

I didn't know Millenium sold "boat" seats until I read this thread. Their treestand seats are supposed to be very comfortable so I'm sure the boat seats are the same. I have to replace the fishing seats in my boat and I'm going to give these a hard look.

Both seats are rated at 400 lbs so why is the saltwater seat considered heavier built? Just uses larger tubing?

Also I can't find anything that says the B100 has UV resistant material but the SW100 says it's made with UV resistant material. Does the B100 have the UV protected material on it? If not I'll go with the SW model just because of that.

It says they're both uv resistant on ezpoleholder's site.
