Default narrow bolster / flip up seat?

The vinyl is moderate quality. Otherwise it is fairly well constructed.

How did you find the quality of that seat? I have been looking at
those. I have the original bucket seats in my boat but the rest of my
vinyl has been redone. I'm trying to decide between re-upholstering
the original seats and buying new ones. I have a red/white interior
too.

Hello all! Does anyone know of a narrow bolster / flip up helm seat?
I've found a bunch of 24' ones but my stock seat is 19" wide and
there's
almost no room for expansion. (2004 hydra sports 212wa) I'me set on a
bucket/leaner type combo since I like to do both while underway. Any
suggestions? I haven't had any luck searching online for a narrow
version. Even the "narrow line" tracy chair is too wide.

Thanks a million,
Barb


I had the same problem when looking for a replacement helm seat for my 20
footer. I originally wanted a flip up bolster but could not find any
narrow
enough for the space I had.

I settled on this seat from Boaters World in white/red:

I mounted it on an adjustable pedestal w/swivel, with a seat slide
attached
to the pedestal top:

The seat is now adjustable in height, can slide forward and backwards
allowing me to sit or stand while driving and can swivel 180 degrees.
