Another Captains seat

I'm looking for another Captains chair for my fly bridge. I'd like to find a used one in good shape. Since it's a Pompanette they are a bit expensive to buy new. Anyone know where I can find a used one or has anyone come up with any unique seating ideas?

WOW... That's what I'm talking about. Looks great! Did you make it or buy it?

Make it... marine ply base. Had a local furniture repair shop make the cushions with piping. The seat cushion is hinged for access storage below.

Great idea, thank you. The storage is a HUGE plus...

Did you ever sell that folding bench seat? Where was that on the boat?

It is still for sale... it is from my whaler/dinghy. I can't think of a use for it on an F32.

This looks great ! This is what I had in mind for my F30. Can you post a pic of the rear ? Thanks !

No pic of rear because it is just full back to base. Basically a box with extended high back and the seat/cover is hinged. No fancy design... Keep it Simple Stupid is one of my mottos.
