Hey guys, been kicking around the idea of putting a low back tractor seat in my db for the rower's seat and looking for some input... Anyone hear have one or have tried one? Any input would help.

Thanks!

That what I have, and wish I did years ago, back fatigue is down, and its great.. I got my seat out of either NRS.com or northern tool.cm, and it was cheap, just make sure its good material, cuz theirs some cheap stuff out there.

I had one in my old boat. Loved it so much I just took out the web strap in my WIllie and replaced with a tractor seat. I can throw a pic up if you want.

I've ran a Fish-on full sized row seat on all my driftboats longer
than I can remember. Wouldn't do it any other way.

Hey guys, thanks for all the input! And thanks for the pics twitch!

Fp, what does the full size Fish-on seat look like? Is it like a pedestal type of seat or a tractor type seat?

Thanks again!

I guess they are called Tempress seats now. Not a tractor seat as I don't like them. Sorry, haven't bought any for 30 years or so. Used to be that is what almost every drift or power boat had. Lotsa seats around now. For some reason I can't post pictures until I get the PC fixed. Also very easy to install at the rowman's spot on the boat.

Google is your friend,

Thank you all too. Do any of you guys have a swivel on the seat? I think, without cutting out the existing rope seat bars I would have to raise it up a bit to do so. But that may affect my stroke negatively especially in shallow water. The only benefit I can see would be if I got a high back seat I could turn it sideways to step over when getting into the back of the boat.
