Idea's on a Captains Chair

#1 Post by lemans81 » Thu Mar 18, 2021 2:55 pm

Hey we are wanting to replace the captains chair on our pontoon, need a big one with up/down and slide adjustments because we have 5 captains(sometimes all at once lol), that range from 5'4 and 135lbs to 5'11 and 400 lbs. Budget is max of $1000. We do lots of tubing in it, so a bench or no armrests are probably not what we need.

This is the one I bought. I looked at the reclining one and decided if I was wanting a nap, I'd just grab a bench!

It adjusts, swivels and the arms raise. It's very comfortable for my 6'4" 200 lbs. I really like it.

Yeah I was pretty much set on that high backed seat as well, but since I am a captain not owner of the boat I wanted to talk to you guys.

Yep, unless someone has another idea I will probably order in an hour or so.
