Boat Seats

[AaronTC05]

I have an early 2000s Lund side console fishing boat that needs new folding seats.  Can anyone recommend a decent replacement seat brand to use?  Is it possible to find Lund replacements or is that just a way to over pay for the Lund name?  The Lund ones I have were clearly good quality, but took some abuse from previous owner.

 

Are there any good non-Lund seats you'd recommend from one of the sporting goods stores?  I like the idea of seeing them in person and easy returns if they don't feel comfortable in my boat. 

 

Any other useful advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Your best bet is to go some place like Cabela's or fleet farm. Look at what they got find what you like as far as price style and color and try them if there not what you like exchange them. I would definitely say boat seats are a "you get what you pay for" you buy a $40 seat it's probably going to be junk while a $100 seat will last a lot longer and be made better. Hope this helps!

Try giving Modern Assemblies in New York Mills, Mn a call.  They are the ones that built those seats for Lund. The can probably rebuild them for you to original. They do nice work at a reasonable price.

Sorry I forgot to put their phone #.  218-385-3385. Ask for Dan or Bonnie.   Hope this helps.

Thanks slowpoke.  I just looked at them again and they're in really good shape actually, it's just that the back boards where the screws attach are weak and some of the screws don't stay in on a couple of them.

 

Does anyone know of somewhere in the metro (preferably south) that would repair them.  Would a Marine place like Dan's Southside or Valley Motor sports do something like that?

Not sure how much money you want to throw into them but like someone else said. The boat seats at Fleet Farm aren't bad and come in a lot of different colors to match boat colors. Their pretty comfy as well. I have used a bunch of them when rebuilding golf carts instead of spending a lot on new cart seats. This time of year they go on sale as well.
