air ride boat seats

[Buckeyedude]

building a boat and would like to put 2 of these in for back relief in heavy chop. Problem is they range $300+ -$700!and that doesnt include the actual seat!! Ive looked at the cabelas pedestals for around 100 which i could handle, but the reviews are 50/50. Any input would be appreciated, or if anybody knows of a better deal or whatnot..........thanks!

Don't forget, you will need a compressor for the air supply.

I bought them by Springfield two years ago: Springfield Marine Co 14 1/4-20-Inch Pedestal Air Ride
I googled them and found them for less than $100 each (I think I paid like $74 each) Be aware some sites lowball the price and then charge high shipping. Add them to your cart and make sure the shipping is fair before you finalize the purchase. They don't weigh that much!

Ya, no problems! Your's might run a little higher depending on how big your rig is and the diameter of what the OEM posts are.
Springfield makes decent quality accessories.
