Review on XGEAR Deluxe Low/High Back Boat Seat, Fold-Down Fishing Boat Seat by Deep Echemendia

The old seats in my bass boat needed replaced and they wanted almost 2k to build new ones. Something about being 33 years old and totally rotten- I digress. I found these seats and purchased them knowing I was probably going to be modifying them. I was very happy to find they actually fit very well! The driver and passenger seats were mounted from the backrest meaning the seat bottom now lifts up for access. The angle turned out to be exactly right so that was nice. Other than working out mounting hole locations I added rubber feet to the underside of the bottoms. For the front seats I threw away the hinge sides completely. New carpet and these seats and my boat looks brand new again! These are comfortable and styled right. Now the good and bad of these seats: 1. They are not custom so they may need some building skills if you choose to go with mounting any thing other than a 4 hole swivel pedestal mount they are designed for.2. Made in China and the size, I think could be an inch or 1 1/2 inches wider. I am 6' 200# and they work good but just a bit wider would be helpful. My wife thinks they are perfect.3. They are not built like tanks. The metal hinge seems a little thin and the hardware is NOT stainless but is zink plated steel. I changed all hardware to stainlesss.These are for boats and not providing stainless hardware lost them a star to 4 stars. If you are expecting super heavy duty then you need to spend a lot more money. The foam seemed a little hard when I was installing them but out on the lake they feel just right. For the price I would buy them again. I get compliments and they work well. I also purchased the same companies clam shell fishing seats. They are gray and blue. The blue matches perfectly and the work great.
