Thread: Seating for a jon boat

Much cheaper at Bass Pro, buy two and shipping free...
Bass Pro Shops Jon Boat Seat Clamp | Bass Pro Shops likely less other places. Marine Raider Adjustable Boat Seat Mount | Academy or ???
I have two that we use in the paddle jon, issue we had was hit something or rough water the clamp would pop loose, PIA. However we now have a rachet strap that we cut down to fit, ran under seat no more issues. It works fine, especially to decide where we want seats, but the pin type are better once you are sure where you want them

i put the G5 slider seat system in my 1448 with millenium seats movem where you want really nice setup. do a google search for them.

Either a conventional pole type mount, or something like this. I never liked the clamp mounts, always found them to be rickety, squeaky, or otherwise annoying.

Access Denied

The Slider - Slider G5 - Slider Boat Seat - Jon Boat Seat Mount
That looks pretty slick, in our paddle jon we are constantly adjusting to balance with loading, the front may be a person from 50 to 300 lbs which greatly affects the balance of the boat.

I use a similar system by Swivel -Eze on the rear bench but use a Wise Spider up front works great.

The "Spider Seat Mount" allows easy access to my poles and trolling motor.

In the other jon we use the spider seats, we have a cam strap to hook to bottom so they stay put when trailering and you have a good seat to use in your deer stand or at camp

Bass pro has a PVC swivel base they sell for about $20.
It allows for removing the seat from the boat, with just the base part of it still attached to the boat.
The rest of it is attached to the seat bottom.
Ive had them on my Jon boat for 2 years now and they still work well and are easily removed and put back in place.
Of coarse since its PVC there are no rust issues.
