    Default Pedestal base and seats question/advice


    I have a 19' Thompson open bow fish/ski boat which has the back to back lounge seats which I have never liked. I want to remove them and put in 2 swivel bases with seats. I'm sure I want the 15" pedestals. I have looked on line at BPS, Cabelas, Overtons.

    My question is, who has made this upgrade?, what did you choose?, are you pleased and would recommend your choice?

    I'd like to stay around $150.00- $200.00 for each.

    Thanks for any input.

    I had an old Glastron Runabout that I converted to a fishing boat. I had the jump seats also. I removed them and put in exactly what you're talking about. I got the seats on line, I think 2 for $50-$60. Got em online, just can't remember where. They were just the cheap Wise seats but comfy. The pedestals and swivels from BPS. It was definitely under $100 to make the conversion. You will be surprised how much walking around room you will have after its done.
    Fishing is like pizza.......Even when it's not that good, it's still pretty good!

    If you are planning on setting and fishing a lot you need to check these seats out. A lot of crappie fishermen are using these now days including me. Give ezpoleholder a pm here on crappie.com and tell him you are a crappie.com member he will give you the best deal.

    Rickie the SW series is adjustable,reclining seat. where the B series is not adjustable. I have the B series and just used extra washers under the seat bolts between the pedestal and seat to adjust my recline to my liking's.

    Never noticed any squeaks and noise with mine. Here is where I asked several questions about the millennium seats when I was looking into buying mine. Hope this helps you also with questions about these seats.
