Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos

I am considering adding a rear seat to my 1982 Outrage 18. Most photos I've seen show these seats with a stainless steel tube across the back rest. Does anyone know if this is required? Would it come with he seat if purchased from someone like Specialty Marine or do I have to get it fabricated myself?

I'll sell you mine - OE removed from my 1986 18 Outrage. In good condition with all hardware.

My rear bench seat came from Emerald Coast Marine Interiors.
Located in Florida.

Takes about 2 minutes to remove when I want to free up the aft deck. Same goes for reinstall.

If you want to match all the cushions (pilot seat/cooler/bow) to true OEM..Tena @ Anderson MFG & Upholstery has the original material w/brown piping etc..they make great stern seats as well..Dave has a video on his facebook page showing a fine Outrage stern seat.

We used to have the seat with the "grab bar" / support bar, it is a nice option to have when climbing aboard, mount rod holders or hang dock lines etc..

Grizzly - I have a buddy that's interested.

Simple bench is comfortable and easy to realize and install.
Back rest may result an obstacle to face when rising from the stern ladder.
