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?

Here is what I did...

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.

You can also find used Pompanette seats of all varieties on ebay.

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.
