    Default Need new (comfortable!) boat seats. Any suggestions?!


    I've been researching for a few days to find some comfortable seats for my bass tracker pro17 i just purchased. I was set on the Tempress Navistyle high backs but a lot of people say the back sits too far forward causing back aches. Now i'm looking at the cheaper Wise Premium high backs. My budget is about $250-$300 for 2 seats including mounting hardware (i need two swivel bases with pedestal mount). I plan to buy two seats for now so i'll be moving them from behind the console to the fishing decks as needed until i buy two more.

    There's often times when i'll fish for 6+ hours, i weigh around 230 (and dropping) so i'm looking for the most comfort for the price.

    Tempress! Great seats. You can get the high backs for around $100 or the low backs for around $90. High backs are $99 at Academy Sports.

    I put some Tempress Hi-backs on my Tracker PT175 (fishing seats only) and like it 'em alot. Comfy for a half day of fishing for me (normal trip for me), it does take a bit of time in the saddle to get use to them, but they are comfy and provide alot more support than the OEM's. I used the OEM bases w/o issue and got 'em at Academy for $99/ea.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I'm 220 and own 4 of the Tempress navi style high back. I've never had any back trouble from being in my boat all day many days a year. I don't think they "sit forward" as much as other cheaper seats built weaker on the backs tend to "lean back". I'm fishing and don't want a recliner. The Tempress is extremely comfortable to me and the best purchase I've made for the boat other than Billbobs old Merc to push her around.
