The next project is to redo the flybridge seating. Anybody have a recommendation for a decent, not real pricey (say under $500 or so) single helm seat? I've looked online at Todd, Tracy, Wise, and Pompanette (Pro series is about it), but have only seen a couple in real life. The local stores stock next to nothing. I figure Pompanette makes the best stuff (for that much $$ it better be), but don't know where any of the others line up. Thanks-
Call Release Marine and ask if they have any overstocks, or returns. When people upgrade or buy new, they often trade in the ones currently there. Before I did my bench, I came really close to a used chair that looked spectacular.
John, Next weekend is the Bay Bridge boat show and I think Arrigoni is going to be there as well as nautical designs?? there may be some specials to be had there.
Release was north of $1500 when I called this past winter. Found a good deal through Hamilton Marine for a Pompanette chair. Typo or not it was under 350 and they honored the ad price.
Did you get the Pro Series Helmseat? If you did, how is it? Frustrating thing for me is ordering out of a catalog without seeing any of this stuff except what the local discount marine stores carry.
I got a Pompanette pro series helm seat from Tom at Holtz. Looks like a nice small seat. Tom was real easy to deal with. When I get this done, I'll try to post some pics.
