bench seats

[david_r]

can anyone give me a site where i can get a bench seat to replace the one in a 1986 ranger 350v comanche?

i just measured the seat and just the bottom is 64" wide and if i measure all the way from side to side, counting the arm rests, it is 74".

i havent found anyhting, but it seems like i have seen "ranger style bench seats" somewhere and i thought it was here but i havent been able to find it....... of course i have found stuff on here and never been able to find it again lol.. im computer illiterate :redface:

i had considered having it reupholstered at the local vo-tech but dont really want to go without my boat .

i also looked for some type of seat cover with no luck. the seats are original and the fiberglass is still in good condition, but the vinyl is real rough and the foam is starting to deteriorate......... it isnt real comfortable to sit in when its wet, ive already torn one of my ponchos using it as a seat cover

have it done there when your laid up for the winter or off doing something else for the week.
I have stuff done at my local tech center just because it is good for our future.

Re: bench seats

well thats the problem........ i fish all year.

the catfishin gets good when the water gets down around 40-45 deg.

im thinking i might just bolt 3 regular fishing seats to a board and use that while vo-tech reupholsters the originals....... that way i can still go fishing .

i would really like to find something i could just bolt in though. i had a hard time even getting the backs off the boat since my arms are too big to fit in the small space where it is bolted to the side. its a 3 part seat one bottom a small piece in between the passenger and pilot backings, and those have a arm rest that wraps around the side to the front of the bench seat.
