wild series 2 man bench seat

[fishingguy]

I recently bought a 2 man wild series. Like it a lot, but don't care t omuch for the bench seat that comes with the package. Any one know if the individual seats will work? And if so, which one of them is the right one?

If any one has a spare or wants to trade for a bench, let me know. Thx!

I've got the same shack. The bench seat is not as comy as some of the single swivel seats out there, but you get used to it. A couple years ago I looked into changing to 2 single seats and I felt the cost just wasn't worth it. It would have been cheaper if I had just originally bought a shack with other seats than to modify mine. Any seat kit that fits Otters medium sled will work if you decide to go through with it.

If I'm fishing by my self I will bring one of those folding chairs that fit in a bag. I can use it outside the shack or inside. Kick back, put your feet up on the bench and you can catch a nap when the fishing slows down.

I have the same house and kinda like the bench seat. It is plenty big for two guys and still have room for all the gear. I didn't think you could get that with swivel seats. I like the idea from JEFF IN WI says, put your feet up and take a nap if it gets slow. never heard of the switch of seats.

I just put the Otter swivel seat on my team wild 2, works great.

I was just hoping to cut weight when I go alone by using a single seat. Then if I go with 2 I can just put in the bench. That bench seat has to weigh 30lbs or more. The single has to be half that. Lighter is better when alone. Thanks for all the responses!

I got a Wilderness Walleye (older version of the team wild) and it came with the individual seats. They work great and are pretty comfortable, but I think I would like the bench better. They are molded plastic with aluminum bars that go across the sled.

I would be willing to trade them for your bench seat. If your ever up in the cities let me know and we can meet up and swap them out.

With the bench seat you can't really fit a 5 gallon bucket in the sled.

I noticed that right away. Can lay them down, but if your bringing home your catch, it makes life easier if the pai can stand up.

I also have the older wilderness version.

Took out the seats and hard ware and use a Gander fishing chair

To hard to find things in the sled with the chairs and hard ware in

the sled.

I have to say I love the bench seat. Lots of room with my two kids and I. The only downside I see is there's not a lot of room

to reach and grab stuff underneath you- plus it's sort of heavy.

But, it is comfortable for a big guy like myself.

Happy holidays and fishing!

They will fit, but you need to either put them in with the bench flipped up or kinda wedge them underneath

I went to milk crates and 2-3 gallon buckets.

In my Team Wild 3 Man I was a skeptic on the bench seat at first. Coming from a Canvas Crafts flip over with mods, I had two very nice comfortable seats. After using the bench, I can not complain, and actually prefer the bench.

My problem is my vex rides in a padded 4 gallon bucket with a lid. It just doesn't fit well in there with the bench seat.

Im going out to get the 1man wild flipover today.Fltfrm has them on sale,I think the new ones are going to a seat instead of a bench,at least thats what I see on the discription in the add.Thats for the one man though,I think the 2man has switched to a different material for their bench seat.The bench seat frame on those are a little heavy,but I suppose an aluminum frame would have increased the cost,Cant beat them for the money...
