Anyone have any experience with aftermarket captain seats for an older Sea-Doo Challenger? Mine are in rough shape and would be nice to replace them for the upcoming season but the prices on used OEM seats are ridiculous even if they are in just OK shape. Found these online was curious if they would even work? Thoughts or any other ideas?

 
I have a 97 C1800 but not at home to verify the correct bolt pattern on the seat base. All I can suggest is that you remove the seat from the base and measure the bolt spacing. If different, it might be possible to fabricate an adapter if you're dead set on those particular seats. I know that with my long legs, I wouldn't mind having a taller seat base so it doesn't feel so squatty when in a seated position. A spacer between the seat and base may help with both of these issues.
 
Yeah I don't have mine at home either which why I was reaching out to plan for this before summer comes around.

I appreciate the tip though and will look into it once it's out of storage.
