Where did you purchase helm Chair? I was thinking about replacing mine on my 265

 

[Fishtales]

Looks very nice. I like that the isle facing arm was left off. Great for cabin access and general helm mobility.

Thanks guys! Just removed the arm rest, it get a bit crowded; much more open now, will take pictures in a couple of days. I got the seat from eBay last week for $400 shipped. Love the bolster; added 6 inches visibility over the bow. Set watch list for “helm seat bolster “ to keep an eye on thing.

Yes..still is.. Little older now but she is so smooth and commands a lot of attention from fellow fisherman. Thank you for taking great care of her!

With pleasure Dennis! I will have a 2013 Marlin with 2021 F300s for sale in about 10 years if anyone is interested! Ha!

Fitting the anchor thru pulpit

looks like an alien spaceship.

New seat again. Llebroc Mako. The last seat a bit too wide (24”); tough to get around with 3 or 4 people in the cockpit. I like the folding bolster to help with extra space, sitting 10 inches higher to see over the windshield instead. Also, added a folding footstep on the pedestal. Next, making a folding aft seat on the back so the boss can use it for suntanning.

Nice seat ... the first one looked like a knock off, or copy of Llebroc's Marlin.
