The Welding World Sportsman Convertible Stage 1 Leaning Post represents an incredible value at this price point with the highest grade marine spec aluminum tubing that is 100% welded in all of it’s structural construction. This affords a reliability and durability under hard, unforgiving offshore fishing conditions that is impossible to replicate with bolted on, cheap lookalikes. Ample storage space under the seat, with enough room for a large cooler and to open the lid to access its interior without having to loosen the heavy duty 2” ballistic nylon securing strap which is also velcro adjustable to you cooler’s girth and slide buckle secured for a quick release. Lifetime guaranteed from craftsmanship and material defects, our seats are 100% American made, from long time, local and trusted American suppliers. America is made greater only when Americans support American manufacturers!
