New wc14 Lund- add seats?

[Royboy8880]

I bought a new to me 2013 wc14 lund. I want to add seats but only want to do this once. Assuming others have done this. What is the best type of seat to get? Thanks for any advice!

I don't have specific brands that I can speak of, but don't get the cheapies. I put a set of 3 seats in my bench seat style 14ft Alumacraft and they were cheapest I could find......maybe $20-$30 a piece. After the first season, the metal hinges started to bend in on themselves and the seat backs started to permanently lean back. You can get swivels that clamp to the benches. If I were putting seats in there again, I would buy better seats to be sure.

Others here have experience with a lot of the different brands and can probably give some pros/cons of each. All I can say is don't go with the cheapest or you will be replacing them again......

Do you want comfort or a functional seat? Is weight a concern?
I would recommend looking at these. They are light weight and very sturdy.

Wise Premium Injection Molded High-Back Boat Seats - iboats

Tempress All Weather Seats - iboats

Closeout Wise Two Tone Folding Clam Seats - iboats

Wise Folding Plastic Fishing Seats with Cushion - iboats

A bit more money but I find them very comfy.

Tempress NaviStyle Folding Boat Seats - iboats

Any of these would fit well in your new Lund.

+1 on the Tempress NaviStyle. Had mine for over 7 years and they've been great.
