I had them redesign the back seat they loved it so much they made it standard on the 2017 s

We also had them put the 34 cc front lounger in the 39 which was a first also. It gives us a lot more room up front.

I thank you for the rear bench seat redesign, definitely caught my attention when I saw it. I barely had the chance to ask if it could be retrofitted to a 34 before Terry stated STANDARD!

I think I get partial credit for the NOW standard lounger w/ U shape seating in 34's. What I'm still struggling to get them to make standard is some lumbar in the lounger bottom cushion.
Like you had them do to the bench seat back I seek in the lounger. Gives a much securer feel not to mention way more comfortable than a flat cushion that ultimately compresses.
You can see how mine was done in 2015 but I told them if they didn't plan to change the shape of the F/G base then they needed to double the foam & increase the density!

They need to go look at a Cigarette lounger and copy it the ergonomics are perfect. Never under stand why boat builders like to make flat seats. They must be used to sitting on buckets.

And good luck with the new new boat!

+1
I don't build boats so I'm unable to determine the cost involved w/ modifying and or creating new molds (the lounger and helm are a separate module from the deck) vs the return on investment but I can tell you that certain manufacturers haven't made my short list b/c of their unwillingness to adapt or modernize.

The one that is only available on the 38' w/ cabin or are they offering something new now?

I think it's nice if you aren't moving or not on plane but doesn't appear to be very functional or safe at a cruising speed.
Keep in mind that anything that has moving parts is also something that can break vs a fixed contoured lounger like Cig, MTI & Mystic offer.

They offer it on the 38 without cabin. Same idea but sunk down into the boat with 2 power loungers

Something different, it's pretty new but seems to be a big hit so far. It is definitely used more when at low speed or stops.

My comments were in reference to the power lounger over the cabin. Being recessed makes it quite a bit safer I would think.
