Default Boat Seats

After sitting in the boat for 2 days, i have what we called Bucket Back after ice fishing up in Michigan.
The ones i currently have are the all vinyl hinged type with the snap.
I need something thats going to give more support and comfort.
Ive kinda looked at prices, and i have no problem spending the money for 2 good comfy seats, but with big money comes big questions. Aside from the usual Bass Pro, Cabela's, Gander Mountain, anybody have any suggestions for new boat seats? or even what seats they would not recommend?
Thanks.

Tempress either the Navistyle or All-weather. Navistyle is slightly more comfortable but the All-weather last longer (and pads can be changed out).

Try Iboats.com -- Google "boat seat blowout" and it should come up. They had some awesome prices on good seats for clearance before Christmas, not sure what's left, but worth a look.

I've bought seats from the Craigslist ad posted by SAMBOLIE. The guy refits a lot of boats and has tons of stuff for boats and at a good price too. It'd be worth driving to Hendersonville and check it out.

yeah i seen that add posted, he has a pretty good stock. where is he located in Hendersonville? is it an actual store or is it a "van parked in the alley behind walmart" kinda operation?
either way im fine with, i just need something a little more forgiving than what i have now! LOL.
i need to have a comfy seat to sit and cry in when i loose my prized baits on snags in the river!

Not really a " van parked in an alley", kinda more like a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse off of Gallatin Pike.

Google it for the address or check the craiglist link.

I just replaced the seats in my Skeeter with these: http://www.helmchair.com/

You can spec out the style and color combo, and the shipping is very fast. It took them maybe 2 weeks from the time I ordered to build and ship my seats.
