Wise boat seats

[theoldwizard1]

I need to buy some back-to-back seats for my runabout so I am looking for people who have bought this style from Wise.

The 3 I'm looking at are Wise "Bayliner", "Contemporary" and "Classic". I prefer one with a gray/charcoal color combination. Any feedback on the differences

Don't know that you'll find many users here for that type of seat. I will say though that Wise has been around for quite a long time and they do make so reasonable products. I also don't think there are many aftermarket manufacturers out there so choice may be limited.

Don't suppose there is a dealer near by you that you could actually go and look at and feel them. That would be the best indication of their quality.

HELLO theoldwizard1 if you still have your old ones redo them the wise back to back are made so cheap I don't think you will be happy with them or look for used as far as differences they all cheaply made. that's what I think.

Wise makes a good product, and their customer service is first rate.

I used some Wise seats when I redid my 80 something bayliner. They were not the ones you are mentioning but were decent quality and worked well for us.

I ordered all my vinyl and previous helm seats from veada.com, they have back-to-back style as well. From what I've researched, very competitive, high qaulity!

Re: Wise boat seats

a big +1 to Wise customer service, Ezombee had a problem with a seat they shipped him a whole new one free of cost.

I put a set of them in my Rinker. No problems, I like them.

Re: Wise boat seats

I boughta pair of 'plain Jane' back to backs from Wise several years ago. The price was irresistable. Think I paid $239 for the pair. Sure the bases were plastic but what the heck. I didn't find the construction substandard considering the cost?

Only problem I ever had was the passenger seat would go into 'auto-recline' mode if'n I hit a wake'n nobody was sittin in it. Finally gave up'n just left it in 'lounge' position ...

Re: Wise boat seats

Note that the Bayliner models are made to fit the seat bases built into certain models and years of Bayliner; I don't believe they include bases so they can't be used in other boats easily.
