HemiHP19 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Gents, I am looking for a Custom Seat to replace the 2017 Mav HPV17 factory bench seat with backrest. Need a more effective backrest for my poor back. Any product tips or photos would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiHP19 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 For anyone interested in building a better Maverick seat to support your back, here is a Tempress style seat I installed on a Garelick Sliding seat support. Of course you must reinforce the underside area between deck and baitwell , which is accessible. Reduces number of persons on boat to two. Results are good, especially during rough seas.

HemiHP19 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Garelick offers three types of seat slides, I chose the Garelick Model 75080 due to the small footprint, about $95.00 from iboats.com. The Tempress seat is extremely comfortable, and supports my poor back, but pricey at $199.00. It is a Tempress Navistyle Probax Model number 68454. The seat mount installation requires underside reinforcement, which involves not only adding underside reinforcement but also filling the void space between underside of deck and upper ceiling of baitwell. Deck looks about 1/4 inch thick and cannot support this mount without reinforcement. So far my installation has not cracked nor creaked so trusting it will continue to work well.

Would you be willing to sell the Maverick Backrest and hardware, if you aren't using it anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiHP19 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Am planning to keep it to restore boat to factory condition when eventually offered for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
