Hazzard Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I have seen a few wheel houses with boat seats in them but I have not fished in one. Is this a good way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buck Buster Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I have seen a few wheel houses with boat seats in them but I have not fished in one. Is this a good way to go? I thought about doing that in my houses, but didn't. In a way it would be a good idea, like in a toy hauler. Move the seats out of the way when the wheeler comes in. It can get pretty spendy if you put all pneumatic cylinders on all of them.I am still in debate about putting them in my next house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockwinger Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I like using the smaller wheeled office chairs with arms. They are adjustable for height and you can roll hole to hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phred52 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I did like Glockwinger. I use rolling computer chairs that have been disgarded, recovered and repaired. I have 2 new boat seat bases in my garage that were destined for the house, now they'll go onto the 'toon. I can always get to the "hot end" of the house on the rollers!

JSK76 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I just bought a rolling computer chair for my deer stand and I'm thinking it coming out after deer season and going into the fish house. I don't think you can get much more of a perfect chair for ice fishing. You can roll from hole to hole tilt back, have nice arm rest and give good back support. I will be so comfy in my stand I hope I can stay awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken_line Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 it just may be me but sitting in a crappy boats seat for 4 hours is noooo fun at all.. i like the puter chair idea.. might have to try that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleShack Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I just bought 2 (flush mount) pedistool bases that matched the ones from my Alumacraft Tournament Sport seats. I just use my boat seats in the wheel house and they are pretty comfy and have the adjustable ride too. Just have to cut a hole in the floor and seal up the bottom of the base with silicone.office chairs could cause some damage rolling around during travel...boat seats are locked in place.

berke99 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 You just lay the computer chairs on their side when traveling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motley man Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Boat seat are not the most comfortable to sit on for hours, go with desk chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzie Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I would only use the fancy captains chairs for the fishhouse if I was going that route but the price of them would probably make me change to a different type of chair like the computer chairs...

"Just Add Ice" Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 my portable seats are amazing (Frabill R-TEC) and in fact I just order 2 of them for my wheelhouse. Price was allot less than I thought they would be. The plan is to weld up about 4 floor mounts and just use 2" solid aluminum round pipe for the uprights with a flat bracket on top so you can screw the seat into that. I have found you can easily spend 150-200 bucks per seat by the time you are done purchasing all the mounts and brackets. I will post some pics within the next couple of weeks when I get this product done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
