20sf leaning post size?
 

In the future I will be changing the seats out for a leaning post & was curious from those of you who have already done the change. What size/style did you go with & what changes would you make in hindsight? There are so many out there new & used, so I'd like to have a ball park size to be looking for in case one comes up that I can't let pass. Also any ideas as to what the original seats would be worth? :D

Original seat value - $0 (tossed both of mine in the dumpster, where they belonged).

Optimum replacement - Birdsall Mini Rocket Launcher (32") - with whale tail and under seat storage bin (and, yeah, it's gonna cost some money).

Thanks, your 20 is hooked up! What size t-top did you go with? Safe to assume that's birdsall as well?

If you like to go offshore, and you're over 40 yrs old, get a bolstered leaning post with fold-down seats. They are an absolute blessing for your back running on plane offshore.

Robalo has these as an option on the 24', 26', and 30' center consoles.

They are nice but way too big & outta my tax bracket! :eek:

I would look for something no wider than your console or T-top supports if you have them. A little storage box is nice under the flip up cushion. Rod holders are nice as long as their placement doesn't let the rods hit the t-top. If your a live bait fisherman, then a bait well would be nice.

I have the same 32" Birdsall one on my 20 and it fits perfectly. You definitely want the storage bin underneath the seat.

Those might have been factory. Have one on my 18 also.
