I am in the market for a leaning post. New or used, it doesn’t matter. Anyone here have any recommendations of where I would be able to get one? Anyone order a leaning post online?? My SeaCraft is a 23 footer!! Thanks guys.

Do you have one on your SC?? What size did you get? any pics?? Thanks a lot.

they make a wide variety of models. As I have a 20'CC, I went with the 32" wide mini-rocket launcher, which is the same one that comes on the new factory 20's. However, I have been on a 23' that had the 38" version of the same thing and it fit real well. Maybe the owner of that boat will chime in, as I know he'll see this post.

As Mark suggested go with the Birdsall Mini with foot rest. The optional back support fits into the two rod holders and folds and stores without effort. Plenty of storage in the seat [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Capt Chuck:

I take it that's the 38" model?

Thanks.

This guy does nice work as well and I believe other members have bought from him. I've been to his shop and will buy from him when ready.

I'll second Quality Marine Fab. I bought a 36' wide leaning post from him last year.I shopped around, I'd say he's as good as anyone else and less money than some others.Very similar to Birdsall.
