That's Bill Carli's boat, SoulMate. Do a search on that, I'm sure there was some discussion about it when Bill installed it. Sure looks comfy!

Not sure who, but it came out of a van. Really nice!
I've been looking on Craigslist at van seats with no luck. I believe this one is on a 25 footer.

For those of you who are not handy with tools, I put a pic of a portable helm seat in my album.
Go to sub-album Texada/Lund/Savary, photo #16.

I would love to know exactly what vehicle that seat came from, so I could copy the installation, but apparently the fellow who put it in his C-Dory doesn't know - he bought it from Craigslist. Looks like maybe some sort of stow-and-go second row mini van type seating? If anyone recognizes it.... please pipe in!

Has anyone put the Attwood Centric 2 in a 25? I saw couple people that put it in 22s. I know the steering wheel clearance is tight on those boats. I have a modified helm, angled up a bit more than stock.

I did. Didn't like it. It seemed too slanted forward, even with a wedge I built for it. It went on ebay.

Replaced with a Tempress seat. *VERY* happy with this one.

Details here:
