    Better seats and pedestals

    A 238 series base and pedestal are hard to beat for solidity. Seats? Everyone has a favorite. I personally can't stand the Centric seats, others swear by them. Put Garelick seats with arm rests in my boat a few years back. Just having the arm rests seams to take a lot of pressure off your...
