Hi gang!
I am looking for a pair of bucket seats for my project jet boat. Willing to have new covers made for them but I will need a good solid foundation to start out with. Let me know what's out there OK.
Thanks Fred!

I used this seat in my Jetmate they sit perfect and has a lot of cushion. They feel better than a Bolster.

I can't rember where I bought them but here is what they are. You can shop around.

Thanks Red
I looked at the Todd and the Garelick seats. They look really nice but I have a small problem. Want everything to match and they don't have the tight pleating I am looking for. Hate to take brand new seats apart and have new covers made for them. That is why I was looking for some used seats.

Paint em.....they make a flex agent and it sticks. I have a set of these exact seats that I sprayed a different color since they only come in white and it has lasted for 2 yrs now....VERY easy to do. I have done 3 interiors with it, too. But they are very pricey seats, but nice

i just took the bucket seats out of one of my 6-88 t-birds and my motor man says it looks like im riding around in a cougar boat. what a dumb ass and dont try to tell me i aint, but you knw what? they are nice and light, they recline, aint got no burn holes yet, head rest feels good when the chop is slamming my head into it, and if they get wet, slip a trashbag over them and take another pair out of the other 5 tbirds ive got, and they are 70 lbs lighter than the water logged seat i did have . i looked in boat us and there were some nice seats, but they cost alot. if anyone wants a pair, come get them before i sell my parted out bird for 150$ of boat gas. still got 5 more birds, but i might need seats, way i go through motors. whoops, just had a brainstorm. instead of selling the good 302 v8 for 150$, ill sell the v6 bird after i take the 70$ tail light bulbs out of it, and put the v8 in the baby smilemaker1/2 tunnel boat thats only 15' long and same color as my 23" sangar. might be able to hide it under an igloo 48 quart cooler, and wouldnt that be funny, being the vmrc check my cooler when im out fishing with my klein line pliers and milwaukee sawzall and cordless 28 volt hammer her drill. not a rod in the boat, but they think id keep an undersize fish. somebody said they could have been stopping me, even thoug they knew i was on my way to work, in my licensed and insured phil htg & cooling checkmate workboat, because they thought we might be drinking beer. well, i would have give them a beer, but i drink whiskey, and burkey took my last bottle. just like the day mr drummond told me, greg, get out the boat and get into my police car. so i took my longneck beer bottle, tipped it up and killed it and set it on top of his undercover marine police car, and i didnt get all bent outta shape like i could have, you know, like those guilford rednecks, and i coorporated fully and blew into his machine that looks for beer, and he didnt say anything else to me. he threatened to get me for eluding the police, he was going to call the helicopters, just because i turned around and rode back out while he was arresting the boat holding me up in the ramp. then i almost had a mutiny on my goodboat sm1 for who ever gave me that non-alcoholic beer. good thing it wasnt real beer, cause they would need a fast helicopter to find me up my homecreeks i know better at night. wheres burkey now? see, i never had to pay that crooked cop nothing for having an empty cooler, and helping keep the hardworking waterman of tangeir cool, after he made them put the fine money in his pocket. i wouldn stay stopped that day he chased me, cause we were listening for helicopters till he got 300 yards from us. see, im not as bad as people think i am. i never used a gun being im a convicted felon, yet i still get to love waterfowl hunting like back in the day, and my ammunition is included in the price of fuel instead of shotgun shells. some of those suckers are fast, and some almost getaway, because if i dont hear the thud on the hull, i see the feather rooster. had them land in the boat, knock our hats off, crap on the bow,etc. but theres nothing better than placing bets on whether ones going to fly or dive, as it misjudges the speed of the boat. sounds like a thunderstorm if i try to hit a herd of um. damn beak nearly penatrated the hull last time we went to work. had to get a plexiglass windsheild for the ones who should have plunged. this winter, im going to have some alum pipe welded onto the gearcase to replace the rubber hose on the low water intakes because an alligator gar got half way to my impellar, and i cant see those crabpots when my eyes are watering. i made sure i got my coastguard inspection too. i stopped, and set in the creek long before the cg boarded us, without me knowing it. i was under the bow adjusting the hotfoot, and next thin i heard was " prepare to be boarded" first thing i said was why didnt u guys tell me a big orange boat w/2 motors was beside us? minutes later, i was glad the blind drunks didnt say nothing. they asked us if we were fishing. good thing i didnt say my net winder broke, because the passenger in front seat was only one w/id, and he just got out prison for murdering his stepdad. yes sir , im just giving him a boat ride cause he hadnt had one in 20 years. yea, im fishing up under the bow. good thing there were 4 men and a cooler without no beer in it. they must have thought we were a boat load of faggots, in a checkmate, with a 75-4stroke on it, firstmate just got out, and i was under bow. looked like a fire extinguisher had discharged instead of a stuck gas pedal. after 45 minutes of swarming deer flies, and the adrenalin overdose of luck, i forgot to thank them for the courtesy inspection, and after we feuled and feuled up, we flew till 1 man cried cause he didnt want to go in. theres not enough time in my life to see this ches bay cause i aint made it out the creek in 43 years.
