The price of a folding seat will range from economy to premium pricing depending on the brand and materials used. Plastic economy models offer some support to fishermen and come at a low price. The best quality seat will offer cushioning and high back support for all day comfort and support. With a huge selection of colors and styles, every fisherman is sure to find the right fold-down/folding seat for their boat at iboats.com
A folding boat seat is the most common type of seat found on the water. Typically used with a swivel pedestal mount, the folding seat is great for small boats since they can be folded up when not in use. more
We also offer OEM boat seat replacements for a wide variety of boat manufacturers, including Alumacraft, Bayliner, Lund, Sea Ray, Tracker, and more.

Not only has been a safety issue with me, its gotten downright costly. I spent over $1000 last year alone for seats in both boats, this year I'm back to square one again. I really thought that when I went to the heavier one piece offshore type boat seats and cushions I was done but those failed faster than even the cheap folding seats. They use a threaded insert that pulled out on on every seat in the first few trips. The seat itself is strong, the fact that they have only four mounting holes is a weak point. The first pair I tried were used, they used self tapping screws, four #14 SS screws that were similar to 1/4" lag bolts right into the plastic seat itself. They both kept loosening up and eventually pulled out of the plastic when the plastic around the hole cracked and split.
I'd could half understand if this was on some offshore racing boat that gets bounced around all day long but its on a 16' aluminum fishing boat that rarely leaves the back bays or river. I run it hard at times and on occasion I'll head out if the ocean looks calm but a few trips through the breakers shouldn't blow the seating to bits.
The problem is NOT the seats. It's the way they're attached to the deck. I'd recommend you build a small platform and use T-Nuts from the bottom of the platform. Doing it this way let's you use stainless bolts coated with 3M 4200. This method Seals everything so water can't penetrate and rot out the wood. Before attaching the platform to the deck make sure and coat it with 2-3 coats of epoxy. Once cured, then use 1708 biax glass and thickened epoxy to attach to the deck. Make sure and tape over the T-Nuts so the epoxy doesn't get into the threads. more
Now in my freshwater boat, that's never an issue, the boat never gets above 20 mph, but the smaller or lighter type seats are just as bad or worse. The mounting is limited to the seat being mounted to the oem bench seats, both of which have been reinforced by me, so the seat can't or won't give way. But the problem lies with the material they make the base of the seat from. The seat bottom has a stamp that reads HDPE. I can't find wood based seats this year so far. I bought two of the plastic bucket type seats for this boat too but with lower backs but I need to find a way to keep the threaded inserts from pulling out of the plastic.
The one piece seats will also affect my boat cover situation as they don't fold down. The driver's seat won't create a problem but the front and left side seat will.
Might anyone have any seat recommendations for a 16' boat for a guy who's 6' 7" tall and 360 lbs?
I've broken back to back seats, broken 4" aluminum pedestal bases and tops, had the inserts pull out of offshore pvc type seats, and had bench seats in my Starcraft Seafarer 16 rip loose of their mounting holes.
I built seat bases out of 2x4's and 3/4" plywood but at 360 lbs the swivels don't work, they flex and let the seat drag the surface below. I tried steel tubular seat posts, every one has broken off around where the tube goes into the bottom plate.
Any sort of plastic or aluminum based boat seat has failed. So have a few backed with 3/4" plywood.
