Besides the seat from a Honda car, has anyone found a seat that will fit the 25 ft cruiser? Mine is an 07 and is like riding on a log wagon. Thanks

Jkswor,
My seat was absolutely miserable. I looked at many high end options, but most were to wide for the given space. I wanted comfort, no vinyl (too hot and sticky in the summer), needed it to fold forward to aid access to the sink and counter and wanted arm rest. I found a wonderful seat on eBay and also can be purchased from Tractor Supply.
Go to my photos and look at the product. The best part is that it was about $500 less than a custom seat, that didn't check all of the boxes.

I've been very happy with the Tempress seats I installed first in my 22, and then in my 25 when I moved into that. Colby

We were really happy with the comfort of two seats made for the Seasport boat models we purchased from the factory in Bellingham. They fit in the 19 so it should be workable on a 25. They would likely ship one if you called down and gave them color details you prefer.

I simply re-padded ours with better quality foam and added two SS hinges on the front so it flips up against he helm wheel. I used to bottom out on the wood because the foam was crappy and not nearly dense enough. No more.

Used the same seat in my mid-90s 22 and overall I love it. Worth noting, I did have to lower the cabinet the seat sits on by an inch; this seat was significantly thicker/higher than the stock seat in my boat.
