|  |     Bill,
    
    Whipping out my trusty Overton's catalog, here's what it says:
    
    Back-to-back lounge seats, adjust to upright or fully reclined
    position, underseat storage is included.  Base height is 10",
    seat dimensions are 18"W x 18"H x 43"L.  Overall length when reclined
    is 66".
    
    	Order # 21580	White		$139.50
    		21581	Parchment	   "
    		21582	Blue		   "
    		21583	Gold		   "
    		21584	Light Gray	   "
    		21585	Brown		   "
    		21586	Red		   "
    		21587	Green		   "
    
    They don't explicitly say who makes them but I suspect it's WISE since
    Overton's sells lots of WISE seats in their catalog.  Also don't know
    if that's a good price.  They say the "list price" is $215.00, but we
    all know what list prices mean!  1-800-334-6541 to order.  I can send
    you a copy of the catalog page if you'd like.  Send mail.

    Two years ago I paid $280 for a pair of back-to-back reclining
    seats at Ward's Marine in Winthrop MA.  They special ordered
    them from a place in Texas, and the quality was excellent,
    much better than what you see at places like Bliss or BOAT/US.

You might give Silver Sands Marina in Gilford, NH a call. They are a Checkmate
dealer. Their phone number is 603-293-4481.
Good luck.

    A guy here just ordered a set of seats from my Shoreway Marine Catalog,
    $89 each plus shipping ($11?).  They were cheaper than even E.B. Bliss.
    You might check a U.S. Boats catalog but you need to be a member to
    buy.

    Just be careful what the backings are made of. They may be real
    
    (junk) cheap.  Also the grade of vinyl.

|  |     Has anyone tried the boat seats sold via Boats U.S. ?   I'm wondering
    if they are durable???   I think the brand name is "Wise".
    
    The info is appreciated.  Thxs.  Henry   ISLNDS::HWALSH  DTN 229-7040

| 332.9 | New cheaper than recover | GUCCI::HERB | Al is the *first* name | Thu Jul 01 1993 08:18 | 4 | 
|  |     I bought a set of these from E&B years back and, for the price, they
    were pretty decent. You can't get your old ones recovered for the price
    of new. Secret of caring for the vinyl is protect them from exposure to
    the sun with a cover while you're not using the boat.

| 332.10 | Protecting new seats | ISLNDS::WALSH |  | Thu Jul 01 1993 09:11 | 9 | 
|  |     Thanks.  Good suggestion.   A cover makes alot of sense, not only
    for the seats but for the stringers, floatation ect. under the deck
    that get saturated when it rains!   I always thought that if the bilge
    pump works it's noooo problem.......  but since I'm now in the process
    of replacing rotten stringers, soggy floatation and floor.....  I'm
    definately getting a boat cover!

| 332.11 | Plastic based seats - good/bad ? | FOUNDR::DODIER | Single Income, Clan'o Kids | Thu Mar 28 1996 12:36 | 11 | 
|  |     	A friend of mine is looking into new seats for his Tracker TX17
    bass boat. The seats that are on there now have a wooden base. After
    looking around, most of what he is seeing uses a plastic base. Since
    he fishes in Early spring he was concerned about how well these plastic
    based seats will hold up (i.e. cracking under cold conditions ?).
    
    	Does anyone have any experience or input on plastic based replacement 
    seats, good or bad ? 
    
    	Ray

Ray,
	I love my plastic, I hate my wood! All my seat bases in the
Nautique are plastic (ABS, maybe, not sure...) except the driver's
seat cushion base.... Guess where the only place I get mildew is....
Yup, the driver's seat. The plastic holds up very well and doesn't
smell~!

| 332.13 | A couple more questions | FOUNDR::DODIER | Single Income, Clan'o Kids | Thu Mar 28 1996 14:21 | 13 | 
|  |     	Rick,
    
    	Do you get out that often in cold conditions (i.e. <40 F.) ? What
    I'm specifically looking for is how they hold up in conditions normally 
    considered adverse for plastic (i.e. bouncing with weight on them in cold 
    weather).
    
    	Also, can you give me some idea of approx. how long you've had the
    plastic based seats ?
    
    	Thanks,
    
    		Ray

	< 40 F? Not real often, maybe 4-6 times per year. <50, at least
12 times per year....

	July 1996 will be 9 years.

|  |     	Thanks for the input. The bouncing is from this being what I'd
    guess is either a very shallow V or modified flat-bottom. If it's
    choppy and/or you're running over wakes, you get bounced around a bit.

 Ray,
 If this were in another file I moderate I'd have a field day with -1
 However, I've had plastic based seats in my bass boats for 8 years. Never
 a problem. They've been frozen/frosted and had ice hanging on them. I fish
 from yesterday till the ice is too thick for the 20 footer to chop through.
