Ufatz Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have a little 18' Crestliner Fishhawk and the bow seat went to heck a little prematurely. I assume dealer can get another one for me for six zeillion dollars, but is there a way to put a new and maybe even better seat up there? A nice big full size double-cheeker would be great!

walleyewild Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Ufatz,Why not order a new seat that is a close match from Cabela's.Then mount it to the old pedistal, the seat mounts are pretty much universal, so no worries there.And I'll tell you the big man seats are pretty nice, after you try one you'll want to replace all of your seats with them.WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufatz Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Okay. Thanks. Was not sure the base plate in the deck was a universal size and able to readily accept other posts/bases.Am off to see the Cabela Wizard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxMN Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 FWIW, we got a couple Attwood Centric SAS seats, and they are awesome. Comfy, good support, have a "suspension" in them under the arse area to absorb some waves. They have a ton of colors as well. They are expensive though, but worth it after having them. One thing is they do not "lean" back like cheaper flimsier seats, so if you like "leaning" waaaay back in your seats, these are not the seats for you.There is a SAS II version that seems like it might be a bit wider arse area. You can find these at big stores, but I have had good luck ordering them from online store simply g00gle the boat seat store and you will find them.Good luck.
