New Guy, First Boat, 1987 SN2001

Hello,

I finally bought my first boat. I've been looking for a deal on an 2001 for years! I have a couple questions..

Is a seat slider aftermarket? My boat doesn't seem to have one; i'm 5'6 and its tight even for me! Also, My buddy has the same boat with a bench in the rear, my boat has a storage box in the middle... any idea where I can get a bench from?

Im sure ill have more questions as tim goes on.. Heres a pic of my beauty.

Love the swing set!

Here is the seat. Will that slider kit work?

That's an Indianapolis drivers seat conversion for the vertically challenged it's also not politically correct Tim to use the term monkeying,the now accepted term is hacked. Monkeys did not like being singled out

I suggest the removal of the "tower" and getting a FlyHigh. This would be just as functional and much much more aesthetically appealing 👍

I'm a fan of the monster tower, It's round, doesn't look like a mad max boat.

we cannot answer that. your picture sucks, nobody knows what you have.

I will take a less sucky one

Hollywood showed all the components that came with the stock seat set-up. Until you post a picture of what that current shock absorber seat pole is mounted to, we cannot recommend what parts you'll need to get her back to original.

At the very least, you'll need everything in his pic aside from the black square seat base (assuming you already have the base in the boat).

well... you have a boat...

if you remove the swingset... you can move the bimini up so it actually shades the driver and observer.

Really not that important to have exactly what came from factory IMO. (sorry Pete) Just needs to be safe & functional.

Quick search result:
Sliders

so you've got the fiberglass pedestal (backwards, it should slant rearward) and also the aluminum plates, that's it...

get some sliders then shim/washer it to taste

Zach may be interested in your old mount. I heard it's getting harder to find the real fat telephone books now a days

SNobsessed beat me to the punch. My sliders were really rusty and I got these exact ones linked. They work great.
