Custom Boat Seats For All Occasions
You may be planning to put new seats in an old boat, or maybe you want to modify existing seating. In both cases, it will make sense to address yourself to a custom boat seat manufacturer. Follow this guide to learn how to do it.
There are many different types of boat seats available, and the potential for customization is almost endless. The most important deliberation in making these kinds of choices are is the type of boat that you have, the space where you need to fit the seating, and what you will be using it for.
The first step to getting purpose-made boat seats is to write down a detailed list for the necessary specifications. Once you have done that, present the list to more than one manufacturer, several if possible.
The way that they reply to your spec list will show you whether they are expert and reputable, and approaching more than one builder will also allow you to compare prices and decide which manufacturer will give you the best value for your money.
Space and sizing is the most important factor - you need to make sure that the manufacturer is building the boat seats to the precise measurements of the space where they will be fitted, and if possible that he commits in advance to modifying the seats if they don't fit on installation.
If you order custom boat seats, there will be a wealth of details that you will need to decide upon, and it's easy to get lost in the maze of options. Make sure that all the details follow the imperative of function, whether on style, material or color.
Don't forget any boat seat extras, such as places to affix navigation equipment or fishing rods on the boat. Storage space is also an important and often overlooked component of boat seating.
The padding itself can be variable. Seats and cushions can be manufactured with medium, firm or extra firm padding foam, so you may even want to use a variety on your boat according to the location and specific use of the seats, especially if you normally have passengers on board.
Boat seat materials are another very important point. If you are going to install the seats on a vintage yacht, for instance you will want the seating of the right material to fit with the rest of the boat. If you use wood on your boat seats, make sure that it had been pressure-treated.
Likewise, for modern steel- or fiberglass-based seats, you need to ensure that any steel bolts or staples used in the construction are stainless steel to prevent rust and unsightly rusting streaks, and also that no hard parts are left unpadded, which would make for very uncomfortable boat seats.
