Anybody selling one or know of one for sale. I live on the East Coast, CT to be exact. Also looking for used cushions. The 1984 I bought came without the captains seat and cushions.
Thanks for any leads

Given how rare they are on the used market consider using the RPS from any classic Montauk or Outrage. The only difference is the Newport RPS had a fully cushioned back.

(R)eversible (P)ilot (S)eat.
It is made up of:

Upholstered seat base
Stainless steel swing arms
Teak swing arm blocks
Teak seatback (framed cushion on Newport)
Stainless steel handles
Recessed PVC rod holders.
From the Whaler catalogs:
Here is the Newport RPS:
Here is the Montauk RPS. Note the seatback is teak without a cushion.

Re: WTB-1984 BW newport captains seat
So a used RPS is rare as a hen tooth? How do specialty marine rps standup?
Re: WTB-1984 BW newport captains seat
I personally do not recommend S. M.
There have been too many complaints.
You can replicate the seat.
Perko has the handles.
Lee's makes a 0 degree flush mount rod holder.
Bob Latourelle makes the seat back and the hinge block
Andersons's makes the cushioned seat back.
Ray Martin makes the swing arms and can fab up some legs. Then again I might go for the SM legs. They look close.
Want links?
