FACESTORE10% offDecide what you are replacing before you compare comfort. The 18 reviews here, all from Leader Accessories, are 5 captain's bucket seats, 3 high-back and 5 low-back folding seats, a molded folding seat, a 50-inch bass boat bench, a low casting seat and 2 seat mounts. Prices run from $29.99 for a mount to $269.99. Low-back folding seats cost $49.99 to $99.99, the three high-back listings are $129.99 pairs, and captain's seats cost $229.99 to $269.99. Check whether a price covers one seat or two: the high-back listings sell pairs, while the $79.99, $49.99 and $47.99 seats are singles.
Dimensions and mounting come next. Low-back folding seats list 16 inches wide and 19 to 20 tall, high-back folding seats 17 to 17.5 wide and 21.5 to 23 tall, and captain's seats 19.5 or 23.5 tall. Folding seats list a 5 x 5 inch bolt pattern (the $47.99 molded seat lists 5.3 x 5.3) and captain's seats 5 x 5 or 5 x 12; the bench and the casting seat publish none. A weight limit appears on only 7 of the 16 seats: 250 lb on five, 300 lb on the $259.99 Pro High Back and 350 lb on the $79.99 caddy seat. Two captain's seats with the same listed size, 23.5 x 26 x 20.5 inches, give different limits, 300 lb and 250 lb. Seats and bases are sold apart: the Pro High Back and Premium Pontoon boxes hold screws and washers but no pedestal.
Every review of this type comes from one store, Leader Accessories, so the terms are shared. It ships only within the 48 continental US. Orders of $70 or more ship free and smaller ones pay a flat $10, which applies to the 5 items priced under $70: both mounts and the $47.99, $49.99 and $69.99 seats. Processing takes 1 to 2 business days and transit 2 to 6. Returns are accepted within 30 days, with a prepaid label only for defective, wrong or incomplete items; a change of mind is at your cost, and exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering. Sale items cannot be returned, and 11 of the 18 reviews flag the seat as discounted. No review records a warranty term.
Look elsewhere if you are outside the 48 states or need a documented weight limit for a heavy-duty seat. The $45.99 clamp-on mount's listing has an empty description, and 5 of the 18 items, among them the $269.99 Premium Two-Tone, were listed out of stock at the last check.

The folding seats here list a standard 5 x 5 inch pattern, the $47.99 molded seat 5.3 x 5.3, and the captain's seats 5 x 5 or 5 x 12; the Pro Casting seat and the 50-inch bench publish none. Check the holes in your pedestal or base first. The $29.99 quick-disconnect set lists a fit on all brands of pedestals or any flat 8 x 9 inch surface, and the $45.99 clamp-on base adjusts from 7.5 to 18 inches but its listing has no description.
Only 7 of the 16 seats say. Five list 250 lb (the $49.99, $74.99 and $69.99 low-back seats, the $229.99 Premium Pontoon and the $269.99 Premium Two-Tone), the $259.99 Pro High Back lists 300 lb and the $79.99 low-back with caddy 350 lb. The other nine give no limit, and two captain's seats of the same listed size state 300 lb and 250 lb, so ask Leader Accessories if you need a firm figure.
Not in these listings. The Pro High Back and Premium Pontoon captain's seats ship with screws and washers only, the $99.99 low-back pair says the swivel is not included, and the $74.99 and $69.99 low-back listings say a mount must be bought separately; the $74.99 one adds that the seats cannot be glued to an aluminum hull. Leader lists two mounts here, a $29.99 quick-disconnect swivel set and a $45.99 clamp-on swivel base.
Size, mostly. The five low-back folding seats list 16 inches wide, 14 to 15 deep and 19 to 20 tall; the three high-back pairs list 17 to 17.5 wide, 15 to 15.5 deep and 21.5 to 23 tall. Low-back prices run $49.99 to $99.99 and the high-back pairs cost $129.99. The $74.99 and $69.99 low-back listings mix one-seat and two-seat packs, so check the pack size you select.
Within 30 days. Defective, wrong or incomplete items get a prepaid return label; if you change your mind you pay the return shipping. Exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before the item ships. Sale items are excluded from returns, and 11 of the 18 reviews flag the seat as discounted, including the $259.99 Pro High Back (from $299.99) and the $229.99 Premium Pontoon (from $289.99).
On orders of $70 or more; below that Leader Accessories charges a flat $10. Five of the 18 items cost less than $70 on their own: the $29.99 and $45.99 mounts and the $47.99, $49.99 and $69.99 seats. It ships only within the 48 continental US, with no Alaska, Hawaii, PO boxes, APO/FPO or international addresses, and processing takes 1 to 2 business days plus 2 to 6 in transit.
