    Default Double Seats Up Front


    All, I am looking for information to install two seats in the front of my bass boat for crappie fishing. Would folks mind sharing the distance between their seats (center to center) AND the width of the seats? Also, please advise if you would recommend a wider or smaller distance than what you currently have for fishing two people up front?

    Cumberland Crappie makes a good one , they will have you measure your width at your center seat and make it for you.

    I have the Cumberland crappie 30" wish I had the 36", with the deck pin where its at and my millenium rod holders on the bow it really is to close to the rod holders where I had to mount the rod holders on my H18 XPRESS PRO, I fold the seat holders back to get as much room as I can from the rod holders. I think the real dimension you need to look at is how much room you will have where you have to mount the rod holders in relation to the deck pin.

    Get a double seat setup that has adjustable width. If end up moving to the back to longline or pull crankbaits you may need a setup that gets wider than what the front can handle. Also handy to be able to swing the arms forward and adjust the length to get just right position for folks when rigging from the front. You will be glad you did. Personally I have a custom one made by dub l seat. He has made a few modifications to the design since I got mine that would be nice. Several of my friends have this brand and like them. I also have a few friends that have the mellinium marine version of a double seat. They are very nice too.

    I have the Milleneum Side Kick and seats. The double seat pedestal is width adjustable and the seat stems are height adjustable.

    Those sidekicks look slick, but there sure is a lot of stuff to trip over should you have a boat with a rear livewell (like mine does).

    Why not just set two new flush/recessed pedestal mounts?

    I have sold my Cumberland Crappie since my last post . Millennium has a lot more adjustments. Like them a lot better.

    I am in the same situation, wanting to sit 2 on the front deck for spider rigging. I am thinking about just adding 2 bases to the deck, that way with just 2 people in the boat I can use my 2 existing pedestals and seat with nothing extra to carry and nothing extra to step over when getting up in the seats or going back to the livewell. I have a 18x60 Triton aluminum boat and am interested in the how far everyone's pedestals are mounted apart, so I am following this thread.
