Things to consider when replacing boat seats:

Measure the space where you want your seats and match this with the full dimensions of the seat. DO NOT make the common mistake of just measuring for the cushions.
▶ DETERMINE YOUR PREFERRED NUMBER OF PASSENGERS.
Keep this number in mind as you shop, it will help to narrow down your search.
▶ IDENTIFY ANY STORAGE NEEDS.
If there isn’t enough storage on your boat, consider choosing a boat seat base with storage underneath.
▶ NOTE YOUR CURRENT SEAT STYLE.
If you are replacing seats, especially just a few, then you’ll want to choose something with a similar style as the old seats to maintain continuity in the look and feel.
▶ SAVE MOUNTING HARDWARE.
New boat seats usually don't come with any mounting hardware, so be sure to save screws, bolts, etc. from your old seats. If you do end up needing some replacement hardware, you should be able to find what you need at your local hardware store.
▶ THINK ABOUT RELATED ITEMS YOU MIGHT NEED.
Shopping for seats is also a good time to shop for furniture and accessories, this way you can coordinate with the seats, and save money by purchasing in groups.
