There's those high seats mounts again for the captain's seat!

Nice boat though! But I'm not sure if I would like that flybridge?

Mine has the high seats you mention, Larry, but I cut mine down about four inches. The last owner was quite a bit shorter. I like them, tho with my girth, I woulda gotten somewhat larger ones.

Garelick has them up to 30" tall ...

You can bolt your seat on.

If you try to ft the tube size, be careful. Todd seats and older GareLik Ez-Ins are slightly different diameter (Todd is larger by about 3/16"). Just enough to make you mad!

Foofer - Inquiring minds want to know - whats does "Foofer B" mean?

[foofer b]

Mine are Todd pedestals and seats. Just the rifght height to see out the front but easy enuff to hook a cheek on the seat and kinda hop up!!

As for the name, it's a kinda corny, but touching pet name (or so my wife says). I have been boating since I was 2 weeks old on my dad's boats. (I am guessing Mom took that long to recuperate from the birth to be able to pull the anchor!!!!) Anyway as a boy he always called his Foofer Boy, or foofer b for short. So the name that came to mind was Foorer B, in honor of all the wonderful memories I have growing up boating with him on the gulf coast. Plus it was that or my other nickname--- Rotten Roy!!!!!

Oh and it beats any of the cutesy word play names that seem to predominate the boating world today, such as----Reel Release, second wind, Ships and Giggles, Runaground Sue, Mis demeanor..... ad nauseum

oh I like this adjustable pedestals http://www.toddusa.com/productdetails.aspx?id=106&f=40

[rossjo]

Understand. Foofer B it is!

Yes, Todd and Garelick both make nice gear ...

I thought about naming mine "Extended Pleasure" as a play on the Trojan brand but my wife wasn't as impressed with it as I was. We Just got about 5" of snow this eve. I Had to come on here to cheer up a little.

[rossjo]

Ha! I wanted to name our F32 the "Big Johnson" (last name is Johnson), and get a Rigid Inflatable Boat for a tender and name it the RIB Trojan ... but calmer minds prevailed.

Thanks to you all, I did find a site that has most everthing. Did find a 30" chair mount. I think it's called LIGHTHOUSE MARINE.

I did find a few things that the prices were some what reasonable. At least I didn't go blind for a few minutes when I saw the price.

Thanks!

I went and looked at this boat. The broker wanted 7K for it. The ebay price is more in line. He tried to tell me that this boat was ready to go???
I pointed out that the boat ran aground and had a bent shaft. And he said "now why in the world do you think this boat ran aground?" I said well fo starters the rudder is bent 30 degrees and keel is all messed up, he said that the rudder came that way and it is fine.

This boat needed at least 5K before it went in the water and then who knows, besides I wouldn't by a model boat from this guy.

here are the pics

Ouch!!!!! Well I guess the name of the boat explains the bent rudder!
