Bolster drop in
 

Can somebody post a few pics of the third man bolster drop in as well as the billet bracket setup if possible ? Looking to add it this winter and need to show my interior guy what we are talking about.

"as well as the billet bracket setup"

Scott are you still drunk from Miami and the cruise:lolhit: JK! welcome back.

There isn't really a bracket for it but there is a poly like guide on the side of the seat and on the side panel. Pat did make a small change to the guides a few years ago that would make it easier to slide in place. I can take a few close up shots of mine when I get home but if you are starting from scratch I would try to get pics of the newer style.

We looked at the tommy bahama boat in miami and it had the billet support brackets on it, we are adding the reinforcement needed behind the side panel, just need some pics to show the interior guy, might be able to get the brackets from the factory if they already have a template from the one they already made if possible.

Why not just call Pat and ask him to email you some pics?

I am sure he is pretty busy so i did not want to bother him.

Better?.... you mean bobber?:lolhit:

LOL! Maybe.:evilb::evilb: Actually would be kinda nice to have on occaision but its about last on my list. probably not gonna happen.

I saw one on here a while back. I think it was on a older 37 Outerlimits.

Outerlimits does it. There is a bracket on each seat and the back slides in nicely.

A friend of mine has it for his 32 fountain and works very well, probably easier since you do not have to reinforce the side wall as the two seats are solid as they stand. After being in clarks boat for the miami run it was nice to have the drop in for more support so we decided to add it to ours as well.

I was in Clark's boat for the KW run last November.

I was not a fan of the 3rd bolster, especially when the water got big.

I found that when I was in it, I was constantly trying to sit lower on the backrest to get below the windscreen to avoid the wind. There is no footrest ahead of the 3rd bolster and my feet had no support. It was very uncomfortable for any length of time.

That's a great seat and I've rode there in some BIG water and at night and it is just fine and secure and no wind problem.
Wind?? the thing about that seat is if the pucker factor gets to be too much for someone they can just fall forward and be in the safe cabin!:evilb:
A lip on the floor for your feet would be great there if you have a captain that does not believe in boat shoes!:eek:
Had permanent three mans on my 32 and there was nothing we would back down from with those. Best seats ever..had them made by the Powerplay interior guy.

Might be that I'm taller than you? :lolhit:

I use to be 6'3"'...
but all the years of wave crushing now has me around 5'10":evilb::evilb:

Me too. You just kinda 'squat out' as you get older. :kiss:

sh!t...5'10" my azz.....:lolhit::kiss:

Talked to Pat and he will make me the Bolster and directed me to the Billet guys for the bracket, thank you Pat for the quick response.
