Buying my first boat


Recommended Posts

No pics right now.  Boat is in storage.  He says all the stitching is out sort of like aarchdale says his are, and a few sections of the vinyl has a little cracking starting.

Few hundred for the sitting seats. More obviously if you do the fishing seats. Andy can tell you when he see this.

Congrats on your new ride. :D Might just check out buying new seats all together.  Great size for our lakes around St. Louis.  Used to fish Rend on occasion, always had decent success.  Lots of places to go on the east side within about an hours drive.

I paid $250 to get the passenger and driver seats done and i took out the middle seat and built a nice step. The middle seat /step you will find worthless on that boat and a trip hazard when folded down using as a step. I can dig up the name of the guy who did mine he is in the Springfield area. I will say he was in no hurry though and took about 3 months but they turned out nice. I looked at buying new seats and from tracker they want close to $600

Know what the width of the seats are?  I found these and they look decent and cheaper than the ones from Tracker.  http://www.deckmate.com/collections/bass-boat-seats

 

The center seat will probably stay for me.  My daughter will need a place to sit when we go out, and since my wife is the one that decided we could get this boat at this time that's a pretty big deal. LOL.

Picked her up tonight.  Can't wait to get her fixed up with some new seats and get the new fish finder mounted on it and get her on the water.
