have an 38 year old Starcraft aluminum boat, which still runs great and is an incredible hull (23').  I have recently pulled it all apart and gutted it to refurbish it.  Our plan was to build wrap around seating similar to the new boats.  We were going to build the boxes for the seats and the seats themselves and have them upholstered.  BUT

I was recently looking for other some other stuff on PontoonStuff.com and came across the Classic pontoon furniture and really am interested since I could just bolt in the pieces I need and that would make my life a lot easier.  I could also buy vinyl to cover any seats I have to make and then they would match.

My question is has anybody used these particular seats.  I could with the Classic pontoon furniture or I could go with the Wise pontoon furniture.  The Classic is my first choice since the paint lines on the boat are straight and so is the vinyl lines on the seats.  The curved colors on the Wise seats look great ,but not sure they belong in a 38 year old boat.

I am land locked in Alberta, Canada and have no way to physically see these seats since the bulk of the products seem to be in the States.  If anybody has put these seats in their pontoon boats I would like to here your review (How sturdy are they, How are they lasting, Look, Quality, How do the hinges hold up etc.) and if you have any pics on how they look installed would be absolutely priceless to me.  I am not a fan of buying off the Internet unless I actually see what I am buying.  Everything looks good on the net!

Any help would be appreciated

I will add pics as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Hello Curtis aka imhungry1, welcome to the forums. Got a great bunch of people here. Glad to see you come join us. Be sure to post some pics of your boat(s) in the 'Show Off Your Pontoon' section (or rebuild depending if you have before/after pics), as we'd love to see them.

Moved from rebuild to here, as your post didn't meet the rebuild criteria. Lots of us have their seats. Myself, I have the premium brand and love them. If you look in the rebuild section, you'll see who's bought seats and either loved them or a few had issues with Classic brand with the seat hinges specifically. They look just like in the pics PontoonStuff has on their web sites.

Thanks for the info.  I will have a look and see if I can find some pics in the rebuild section.

If anybody has any more info i would still appreciate it and any pictures would be great. 

I believe this rebuild was done with the Classic seating.

I used the classic seats on a bebuild of an 84 Starcraft. Although I liked the seats, I would recommend one of the upgraded lines because they are more comfortable. I will try to attach pics.

Hey it worked! That is PS carpet and bimini top also. I wish I had that same top on my new boat. Good luck with you rebuild, and I hope this helps.
