Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 1999 Outrage 18` Change out Seats

I would like to change out the individual console seats for a leaning post or bench type with moving back rest.
i have seen some pictures of what I think are 1999 Outrage 18's with what looks like a standard BW bench seat
with the movable back rest. does any one know if that was an option from BW and if so where I might get one?
Also would like to get a dodger made for the front of the boat does that need to be done by a local custom shop or are there dealers that would have the dimensions to make the top?
thanks,
Seeker

Seeker -

If you add your location to your profile, you may get local/regional recommendations for vendors.

As for the leaning post, many Outrage owners have re-used their posts and installed a leaning post top.

Whaler does not have anything that will fit.

Todd makes several good benches.
Look at the choices at:

Birdsall Marine makes a backrest insert that has arms that fold for great storage.

You will want a local fabricator to do the dodger since there is no OEM version.
