suspenion seats for stick steer boat

I'm hoping to get some feedback from the community on options for a suspension seat in the front of my 17' Royal sticksteer. I've seen Randys smooth moves seat but as the fron of my boat is not very wide I think the base would get in my way. Saw a picture on here one time of a guides boat Mr. Dux? who had some type of suspension seat with a much narrower base. The rise of wake boats and my increasing age has got me thinking I need to get something or give up my stack steer which I realy like. On rough day's my back is telling me to buy something . Scott

I did not know there was such a thing for boats. One more thing I have to look up.

Seminole.. I don't know how to load pics . It works amazing in my Xtreme stick boat. All air ride. I have to add a little air all along but worth it. They are a bit pricey but what ain't for fishing these days.

Sorry spell check got me ultraslab. AIRWAVE. Is the name of my pedistal

Air Ride Boat Seat Pedestal: Comfort - Adjustability

I think that's exactly what I was looking for. I had only seen a picture on a post by Mr. Dux. Perhaps he will see this and confirm this is what he had. Anybody else with expierance please chime in as I'm going to puch the button soon. Scott

So how often do you have to add air Johndeere? Thanks for the help. Scott

Alphahawk on here has talked about the one he has in his boat, a Smooth Moves brand I think is what his is.
I remember reading about him saying that he really liked his and they are a good bit less expensive.

Ultraslab, I have to add air about once every 3-4 months. It has a little hand pump. Takes just a pump or 2. I'm picky about how it feels. The amount of air depends on your weight. I run mine a few pounds lighter than what they recommend.

My pedestal is an AirWave. I’ve only had to add air to mine a couple of times in the year I’ve owned it. Sure is nice on bad back.

Those seats look awesome

For johndeere or m r Dux or anyone else that's used these on a sticksteer do you think there's a concern over ejection when hitting a big wave behind all of the wake boats that plague my lake. I have come out of my seat probaly 6" or more a couple of times when I hit one by surprise like running back to the dock right at dark. Scott

You know that was supposedly one of the knocks on the seat I have. But for me it has never happened. I could see it happening on smaller folks but at 255 it ain’t never happened to me…LOL. And you’re looking to get an air seat….and from everything I’ve read on the air seats that is not a problem at all.

I would think if they were properly adjusted. They should be fine. Let someone play with the air ride seat in a truck and you end up with your head in the top of the cab. Adjusted right you stay in contact with the seat

That's why I went with this seat. No ejection feeling. It don't have the travel of the smooth mooves but it is a very cushion feel when hitting wakes. I fish lake eufaula and t
It can get rough at times . Never bottomed out of felt like a ejection.

Agreed DSJ. Rode an air ride seat for better than 16 yrs...When adjusted right you stay well planted. Too soft and it jars your spine when bottoming out, too hard well My cab roof had a couple bumps from my bead...lol

Never felled when you got out of that bucket truck somebody was going to give you an unexpected seat adjustment. That first bump was always a doozie.
