Are most seat hinges made of powder coated aluminum or stainless steel?

Thanks all!

What so the best thing to revitalize the seat hinges? Wasn’t sure what metal they usually are made of. Thanks!

Excellent point. Thanks!

Thanks! Did you use any special stapler or staples? That always seems to be the first thing to come undone. I actually thought about just putting new skins over the old ones if they would fit.

Thanks…I didn’t know hard they were to install.

I was able to get most of the mildew or whatever the black stuff is off with OxiClean. Wondering if there is another product to get them the rest of the way clean or if they are just too far gone.

Thanks. I went the expensive route and trying the Meguiars product. Will try to update with before and after pics.

I have searched but no luck so far. Can I please get some recommendations for cleaning and restoring color/shine to my bass boat seats? I did find tear repair solutions but not for my question.

Thanks! What did it cost you all to swap props?

Hello All!
Recently purchased a 95 Stratos 290SF w 225 Johnson Intruder. It needs new upholstery and thinking about just buying new seats online but not sure of best place to buy them. Anyone with...

I am looking at a Stratos 290 SF which has a 175 hp Evinrude. I saw the boat is rated for 245 hp. Being a 1,625 lb boat it seems like a 175 hop Would be significantly underpowered and I’m afraid I...

Thanks all! I wonder what percentage are problems due to upkeep vs age as well. My brother has. I think it’s 93 Astro F18, still looks and runs like almost new. He did have to get a new trailer. ...

Is the Optimax and Yamaha HPDI as bad as the Ficht? It looks like a lot of 2006-2010 models had these engines as well. Did they get better? His reminds of my 2007 GMC with the AFM…

For the experienced guys, wondering what boat you would be looking for in 20-25 year old boats and motors in the 19-21 foot range…I am presuming engine would be between a 175 and 225. What would you...

Thanks. That actually was another concern.

Hello! I’ve been without a boat for several years and looking to get back in. I’ve always thought Champions were the Cadillac of bass boats. I am looking at a ‘98 191 DCX Elite with a 175 hp...

Thanks, and does a lifetime hull warranty cover the transom? It seems to me like it obviously would but I know warranties do have exceptions.

Yea agree about current pricing! Crazzzyyyy! See 1995 Rangers for $15-$20k...I was thinking the same way but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. The only thing that bothers me is the...

Hello Basscat gentlemen,

I am looking at a 2001 Basscat Sabre with a Mercury 150 EFI, no jackplate, only one graph, a KVD Humminbird 698CI on the dash. Boat appears to be in really good shape...

Be sure to ask how old the tires are. Tires can be old and ready to blow but look new. On my brothers boat, he hadn’t used it much the last 10 years and we went on a trip about an hour and half...

Thanks for the backup on speed. It may not have been 69 but it wasn't far off that...I know what that speed feels like in a boat. My primary interest in the boat, if we could ever agree on price...

My brother’s trolling motor, an older Motor Guide 72/74 pound thrust is having an issue where after 5 minutes running on high, the breaker shuts it off? Anyone ever have this issue or know of a...

Will do. I’m not in love with the color of it (brown/gold and black). I believe it’s a 175 so?? The boat is in really good shape, gel coat good, carpet good, seats are good. Motor is one of the...
