i fished in my cousins boat a couple weeks ago in the ND GOV cup and he had just installed these seats. (202 Triton) i personally loved these seat posts!!! they take up no more room then the factory seat posts and they are a GREAT advantage over stock solid posts!!! they are also WAY cheaper then other brads of shock absorbing seats!!

i personally have ordered a set of these for my boat and CANNOT wait to get them installed!!!!!

installation is also EXTREMELY simple!!!!!

Put a set in my 2050 after the factory Springfields quit working....they are great, easy to install and had them in 1 week from ordering. Go to the website, they now have dealers who stock them.

I had a set of these... Pure crap! Customer service is horrible... These pedestals do NOT hold up... The idea of a solid spring inside a post is a great idea but every other aspect of these is plain junk... I took mine out and threw them right in the trash about 2 weeks ago... Enough screwing around! I put sprigfields back in my boat...those little plastic slides in the post are horrible.. They sent me a bag of extras, I got sick of putting new ones in...good idea poor design..

I put them in my Crestliner 2 years ago and they made a big difference over the stock pedestals. No relocating seat bases or losing room in the boat. I have never ridden in a boat with the SmoothMoves or any others-so I cant compare-but for the price and ease of installation-were well worth it to me. And my wife!

Terrible customer service, and I live 60 m iles from grand rapids, mn. drove over there myself to get them after waiting and waiting for them. 2 pairs, junk, neither lasted 2 weeks. The idea seems good, and they look nice and clean, but for me they were bad!!!! Bought some smooth moves, way more spendy, but they work terrific

This came up on Muskie First and some people said that the design has been updated, and they are more durable now.
