I love my BW but I am looking for a backrest to my factory leaning post. I saw the attached pictures on another Nantucket 190 that was for sale. The rod holders are 28.5" Center to Center. Do you know where I can find one?

Ken C and Henry (The Yiddil) had one made by Birdsall Marine.
Additional info:
The vinyl is a perfect match.
The arms fold for storage but mine has just stayed in.
The angle on the pomponette rod holders on my leaning post is 0 degrees(they ask this when ordering).
The only drawback is the leaning post rod holders are a little over 1 1/2 inside diameter so the fit is a little loose. I may increase the size of the poly sleave on the aluminum tubing.
Yiddel just ordered one and he referenced my invoice number for this...Ken Cvitkovitch #22017.
Here is the standard offering:

Give them a call on 561-832-7879
I have been on Yiddil's boat and it is quite comfortable sitting on the RPS with the seat back.
