Mostly solo but very nice when someone goes with me.
Easy in easy out.
Worth the money for sure.

I looked at that set but not sure it would work like I want it to.
Anyone know anything about this?
EZT Pole Perch works just fine for me. No bolts to loosen up and fall out like the other. I have capabilities of building my own but opted to buy from EZT.
I've looked at a lot of different options. Also wanting dual seating on the bow. I remodeled my last boat and made it compatible for three across, single or dual. This boat is different. So the research started and here are my thoughts, concerns, etc.
Anything free floating on teh deck is subject to falling overboard, with or without the occupant.
Anything anchored to the single seat pedestal includes a trip hazard (rails that connect seat to post).
Cost- $300- OUCH!
Build my own mousetrap? No matter how I sliced it, the commercial units are pretty well engineered and all I'd be doing is duplicating them. Sure at a lower cost. Cost of materials, my time is free.
One last option, install two more pedestal bases in the bow. Do you have the room? In my case, they would be mounted in two of my deck hatches. Which raises other concerns. Are the hinges strong enough? Is the hatch lid strong enough? Will the lock hold? On the plus side, the mounts are smooth to the floor. No trip hazards. Won't fall out of the boat.
I bought two new pedestal bases and some 1/8" aluminum plate to strengthen the hatch. Going to sandwich the hatch between the base plate and aluminum. If the lock fails, I'll buy another.

I have the EZT for the front of my tracker 175 and really like it. Stores away very easy and doesn't take up much room.

I built my own out of scrap tubing. Figured out how far apart the seats needed to be. Cut a piece to that length. Then welded a leg on each end of the tubing. In the middle of the cross piece welded a flat plate with a 3/4 bolt on the bottom of it to fit in my existing seat pole. Took to a local machine shop, he made me 2-3/4 bushings to fit in the tubing on each end to hold the seats.
I'm fat and cheap I'd just sit on a cooler lol.
Ended up going with the Dub-l-Seat. Ill put up pics when i get it in and on the boat.
Wise has a great one I really liked, ordered it last night. GF already informed me we will be sitting together fishing on the front so hit the buy it now button and its on the way
Copy and past this into your page or e bay Paid 150 for it but it has a place for a bass seat poll . Will be easy to mount the legs down so it don't move add two seats, your in the game.
Wise Double Portable Seat Stand for Boat Seats
I had the Wise dbl seat for years on my 16ft Alumacraft and the new Millineum on my PT185. I have since sold the Millineum and installed 2 extra bases. My gittyup gear wont allow me to move around too much.
Spent the day yesterday loading the new toy/boat with stuff. Twin graphs on the dash, boat came with one on the trolling motor adding my lowrance and active target up there . Mr Crappie rod holders but that wise base will be perfect with that 19 as wide as it is up front. Waiting on that wise seat to come on, do a little molding with starboard already have the two seats. I'm not a speedster on the water. Run 25 save that fuel i'm happy so the twin seats up front won't bother me .Quote:
