So I went to Kelsey yesterday and took my girlfriend.  We got up a little late, we were in a hurry to leave, and I didnt realize that the rear seat was not in the pedestal hole.   When we got to the lake, no rear seat. >

Now I have to go order another one.  Anyone have any contacts at Ranger Boats?

Been there, done that also.  I left a Stratos rear seat somewhere between Thomson GA and Welatka FL.  Dang replacement seat cost me almost as much as the fishing trip.

That's no good. I hope it doesn't cost a small fortune.

I think muddy can relate. ;D ;D

Well I called Ranger, ordered the replacememnt seat.  It's going to take 3-5 weeks to get, and let's just say I would have rather spent that money on another Steez rod.   >

Geez, some replacement parts for things are out of this world $$ wise.

A new seat cost as much as a new Steez rod?  NO WAY!

Cabelas and Bass Pro have seats for less than $100.  

One reason the butt seat on the bow never travels in the upright position.

Quite lucky that the flying seat didn't hit someone's car.

Now that one I could see.  A Cabela's $100 seat on the rear deck of a $50,000 Ranger.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I would just have her fish standing up from now on.

or use the seat excuse to leave her at home!  ;D

Funny guys.  The thing is, I enjoy fishing with her.  She's actually pretty good!  

To me it seems like a good excuse to buy more stuff.

I was just kidding!  I wish my wife liked to fish!

To me it seems like a good excuse to buy more stuff.

Buy more stuff?  I lost my rear seat.  I don't understand why that would be a reason to buy more stuff?

That rear seat just gets in the way in a secluded cove.

I figured that.  My cheap old seats they wanted 250 each for.  So I didnt order one.  

I would have went with a nice lawn chair in the back of that ranger. ;D

Robert  I bought another seat for my 518 a couple of years ago.  I'm thinking it was around 200 +/- thru my dealer.  Don't remember that it took too long to get it.  Believe the anniversay emblem on it was a hold-up, tho'.

NO, i wasn't talking about losing the seat.  I was talking about the wife fishing is a good reason to buy more stuff  

Oh ok, I get it.  I may try that one.  Although, my girlfriend does buy me stuff as well, so I can't complain.
