Anyone use freestanding chairs?

["G"]

Definitely wouldn’t hold up while running. I would be looking to use while fishing with wife and kids only.

Personally .... I would not do it. Too many things can happen too quick....even when just using fishing with the motor shut off. Somebody could come flying by on plane and throw you or whoever chair and all out. Just save up and get a double seat or a Millineum Side kick and a couple of seats.

I have one of the millenium bases and it is pretty solid. I plan to go to a double millenium rig but wasnt sure if it would get me to where i wanted so I am using this for now to decide where i really want to sit and make sure everything is good before dropping the money on the sidekick.

I know a guy who used to fish out of a metal folding chair that he would put on the front of his Polarcraft flat bottom boat. He never fell out of the boat as far as I know.

I would also add a ladder to your transom, if you don't already have one, in case the wife & kids weren't able to lift you back into the boat if you ever fell overboard.

I have a bad back so I have been using a folding camping captain's chair for years with no problem.I use the regular size one not the director's style. A good telescoping ladder on the transom is a good idea. I have one that folds over into the boat just in case and I always wear my auto inflatable life jacket..

This is what I've been using with no problems at all, Millennium Marine D-100 Deck Chair, if some how it would be illegal then I don't think Academy would be able to sell them after all it is marketed as a fishing "deck chair". Obviously one must use some common since and not use it or leave it out while running at speed.
