Good place to buy boat seats?

[Trent54]

Hey all, I recently got a boat that is in need of some work. It is a 1973 starcraft Islander. I want to put some bench seats in the back, but was really suprised to find that they are running around 200-300 bucks, and 4-500 for a fold out. <br /><br />Does anyone know of a good place, online or otherwise to find stuff like this? It seems like the majority of stuff I've found is way overpriced.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Trent

The news is grim. As the foam that makes up a seat is a petrolium based product the prices for this and all other upholstry foam is going up and up with the price of oil.<br /><br />I saw a place called Geldert's boat seats on the web that was about 550 for the pair. Best I could find.

And there isn't much hope in finding a deal, unless you find some clean used ones at a boat yard.<br />I'm also going to have to replace the two buckets in my Cobra project boat. But I've been eyeballing those tractor seats with built-in supension, as opposed to marine seats due to the price markup when something begins with the word, "marine.<br />They should fit and werk great.
