Lean post or seats?

[Kachanilla]

I'm just about to buy a 21'er,and im "leaning" towards getting the post.Anyone have complaints about them?

I have the captain's chairs and the leaning post. I love the leaning post for fishing. Four more rod holders and space underneath for pliers, spanish rigs, etc.

I'm a " Big Guy" 6'2 225 and I fit a lot better with the leaning post.
Baby boy is also about the same size and he likes it too. Adjusted correctly it also acts a lot like a seat with the backrest on. This does take away the rod holder part but the rods get in the way of the bait tank anyway. If I was to do all over again I would get more rodholders added at factory. You can add them yourself for about 80 a pop. You will love this boat. Two things to check when you pick it up. One make sure the battery switch is right. Seperated not together and two make sure accessories are wired right. Mine was direct wired through the switch. No problems yet with batteries but I use it every weekend .

Does anyone have an idea where to get a nice leaning post for a 210?
Thanks

You can either have a custom one made like I did back when I had my 210 (real nice unit) or you can order one from Todd MFG who I belive is the OEM supplier to Triumph and should fit your seat present posts

Fish,

You are more than welcome I would shop around though for the factory unit does not have a lot of storage features (tackle trays and the such like) that really make a leaning post a nice feature to have. Space on any boat is always too little so I am always looking for ways to get the max return on what little I have. Here is a link to a site that may give you some ideas on how to design one your needs, or modify the factory style model into having more usable features and storage...

Thanks alot for the web sites, they help a lot. Alot of the post I find don't measure the same as th 210 bolt pattern.

Thanks

Spinner,

I think this site here Brother has the costing on the Todd units (sure looks like the same stuff) so you can compare the factory style units to a custom built one.

Before buying though I would also look at the thread on the 190 board about this same subject as we the bay and flat boat guys talk about storage options also so you can get some more ideas for your 210.

Enjoy!
