I have a 28 excell 1988 and the only thing left for me to add is a set of bolsters . The stock swivel seats are OK but I just put in a 502 with thru transom and I'm getting 450hp. I need some bolsters to replace the swivels now.
Anyone with an 28 excell who has done this conversion please let me know the details.
Thanks,
Terry

I haven't but look a Paul's profile under Hot Boat. He's got the post about the 2" shorty a couple posts down. His look real nice.

I had drop out bolster in the boat but felt that I was sitting to high. I always sat in them when under way. if I was standing the steering wheel was to low. I went with high back sit down bucket. absolutely love them. Worth every penny. They even have the scarab logo in the head rest.

Here is the link http://www.twinmarine.com./seat.htm

I went with there type # 7 I made 7" tall seat brackets , I relocated the throttles along the side of the seat and extended the steering wheel 7" out . The boat is set up as a poker run boat. When I have a chance to take photos I will post them for you. the entire boat was re configured. I even lowered the back seat and raised its seat back. now my passengers are more conforatble sitting lower in the boat with more back support.

Twin marine makes some nice stuff for the $$$ they will make it any colors you want.

don't get bolsters that are to tall the boat is not that deep in side and you wont feel comfortable if you sit to high. My old bolsters had pedestals that were about 15" tall , just enough for the bottom of the seat to drop out with out touching the floor. I still felt to high in the boat.

these guys make some nice stuff but they charge you for it http://www.ppi-fl.com/begin.html

I want to know why most of these places do not give out prices via their webpage? To much of a hassle sending email and such.....Just put the price on the page.....Is that to much to ask?
