Author Topic:   Leaning station vs. chairs

I am thinking about replacing the leaning post on my 1984 22' Outrage with two captains chairs. Current system has room for ice chest for storage inside/underneath so I would e giving up some storage. Anyone done this before? Pros/Cons?
Thanks,
Eric

I would be interested in the leaning post. I only have a single chair and the post would be nice in my boat.

The leaning post is better for rough riding for extented periods. The chairs are nice for cruising.

Stick with the leaning post. It's more functional and gives the boat better resale value.

In the original hierarchy of seating options, the two swivel captain chairs were the standard installation. A leaning post was an option, and the reversible pilot seat an even more expensive option.

It would seem the RPS would serve both purposes. Comfortable seating while cruising, and with the back flipped forward, a decent leaning post.

Shrimp is right, and when used in leaning post mode, the RPS can still seat 2 passengers facing aft. I raised mine up on some teak risers, and store a 72 qt. Igloo underneath.
