170cc Rear Seats

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and a new (to me) Triumph 170cc. I would like to know where I can find replacemnt seats for the rear. I've seen some of the Triumphs that had the backrest on them, but my boat doesn't. Any suggestions?

Hi JNance and welcome to the site. Congratulations on the 170! Give Dick Cabble at Merritt Marine a call. They have lots of previous year model parts and supplies. http://www.merrittmarine.com

JNANCE,
First, welcome and congrats on your "new" boat.
The older versions of the 170CC didn't have the back rests on the rear seats. I personally prefer mine that way for two reasons:
1) Getting people into the boat via the swim platform is easier without having to crawl over the back rest.
2) Those seats are the wettest ride on the boat. When running in a chop, splash water hits whomever is in those seats so they are hardly ever used. If they are not used, I don't need them.

Just my thoughts. I hope you'll share some photos of your "new" ride.

I am also wondering if there is a prefferred way to pull skiers with the 170. I know the eyelets on the rear of the boat could be used, but is there an additional bracket or anything I could use?

I use a tow harness hooked to the two eyelets on the rear. Here's a link to the one I bought at Cabelas: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...338&hasJS=true

It's most likely the easiest and least expensive way to pull someone. Good luck.

JNance,

Welcome to the site. I have a 170DC with the back rests and really enjoy having them. My better half and one of my daughters prefers sitting back there while my other daughter prefers the front. The only time I sit in the back is when the boat is anchored, the bimini top is up, and that's where the shade is. But it sure is great having the back rest when I do sit there.

That earlier post is right: the back seats are the wettest part of the boat, and that is why my son likes to sit there! I remove the cushions when I go fishing but the backrest frame is still there (sometimes preventing me from going overboard !).

Enjoy your boat!
