Need recommendations for new boat seats

Want to buy some good quality (nicely padded) boat seats for hubby for Father's Day. Want them to have good support but lots of cushion for riding across the big waves. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I would look at the attwood centric line in Cabelas. I bought 4 cheap seats $50 each at bass pro and after sitting in them and leaning back the frames bent where I had to rebend them to sit upright and the padding isnt the best. I bought some of the attwoods and there just like the top of the line Kitpapermouth has in his Ranger where you can sit and be comfortable in all day. I got mine on E-bay 100.00 each.

SORRY WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME FUN CRAPPIE NOVICE. DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF BOAT YOU AND YOURS HAS, I WOULD JUST GO TO A LOCAL BOAT DEALER AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT. THEN PICK ONE OUT. I WOULDN'T JUST ORDER ONE WITHOUT SEEING IT FIRST AND TOUCHING IT! THERE IS ALOT OF JUNK OUT THERE! WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE ALOT OF BACK TROUBLE. BUT OUR ORGINAL LOWE BOAT SEATS HAVE BEEN JUST FINE.

I too have bought cheaper seats and they just did not hold up and were not comfortable. I just bought a set of Tempress seats and only fished them once so I can say for sure but they were comfortable. Here is the website if you want to look at them
Tempress Marine Seating, Hatches, Rod Holders, Deck Plates, Gear Bags, Organizers - Tempress Marine. Bass Pro has them on sale right now for $94.00 regularly $119.00 I think. They gave me the wrong ones the first time so check each box if you get them to make sure you are getting what you want. Or maybe not since I ended up getting them for $85.00 since they messed up.

I lucked out last night Tom. I was in the BP Outlet and they had a couple of these in Blue/White which match my boat for $45 a piece. :D

Thanks for the advice!

Beagle, does that thing recline? :eek:

We've been looking at BP for quite awhile and I even get the seats down off the shelf and sit them on the floor and then get in them to see how it feels. But we just haven't found the "right" ones yet. That's why I came to you guys! The boat dealers around home don't have anything of good quality in their stores. :(

Thanks again. I'm going to check out the ones you recommended.:)

I AM KIND OF LIKE YOU ARE BOAT SEATS ARE IN A WAY LIKE A GOOD PAIR OF SHOES. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO SET IN ONE TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

AND BEAGLE DON'T NEED A RECLINER WHEN HE HAS A ON BOARD WAITRESS!

I am not convinced those are the same seats, maybe you better take me to that spot OSS took you to so I can test them out to make sure!:D

I would love to, but gonna be a couple of weeks now I'm afraid. Got a wedding deal this weekend so really doubt I can manage to get out and then probably need to spend some time with the girls the next weekend since I will be leaving for Canada for a week. But when I get back you gotta deal. You too Buzz. Problem is pretty doubtful we can all fit in my boat so most likely have to show you in your own boat Tom. Besides that I like traveling in a Cadillac compared to my Pinto. :D
