Whether it's a sailing boat, a pontoon for a placid picnic on a lake, or for a fishing tour on a specially equipped boat, it's a great way to spend your time.
Still, comfort is important and few things can be as uncomfortable on a boat as sitting on rickety or prickly boat seats. Such a thing can turn a great journey into a fatiguing endeavor, and can also be dangerous; especially of the boat is a place of work for you.
For the boat enthusiast that does not want to waste any money, there are many ways to acquire boat seats without paying the full price. This includes buying second hand seats of course, but it is also possible to buy new seats at less than their retail price.
Buying good boat seats that have already been used is, of course, one of the most viable options. Good places to look at are the local classifieds, as well as ads at your nearest boating club. Ask your boating friends too, they may just have what you need in their garage. You may of course have to do some minor repairs, but it will well be worth it and you will save loads.
If you are member of a boating club or of a fishing group, buying boat seats in bulk is another option. You may be able to get substantial discounts from a retailer if you buy five or more identical sets of boat seats.
You should also make sure that you are taking advantage of any special offers that local retailers may have on boat seats. Always ask if they have anything on offer, even if it's not advertised directly, but make sure that you enquire and understand why the boat seat is on offer!
Check aftermarket shops too. These are retailers specializing in end-of-the-line products, which are usually much cheaper than current ones. The next aftermarket shop may be out of the way so inquire about availability of boat seats over the phone in advance. It may well be worth the call!
Check the Internet too. Online retailers are often amongst the cheapest new boat seat sources, and the possibility to compare process from your living room will give you a good idea of what's available even before you buy.
Auctions are another great source of cheap boat seats, whether on-line such as on sites like eBay, or offline in public sale houses.
