I got a price for a new leaning post cushion, My boat is a 19, and the leaning post is like a todd, it is mounted on 2 pedestals therefore storage for a cooler is a no go. I found an Aluminum leaning post with 4 rod holders, footrest, and it allows storage for a 54 qt cooler under. It is 33 " wide, a little smaller than the existing one, and is only about $100 buck more than the new cushion. I am thinking buy the new post so I have the storage for the cooler on my small boat.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy??:smash:

You'll enjoy the new one and the extra space. I need a footrest on mine.

It's only a hundred bucks. Get two of them

I think it's a no brainer, new post....or the guy doing the cushion a gouging you.

recently a local guy did a pissa job on my pads for a lot less than competitors...shop around or if your in my neck of the woods I'll show ya where...new leaning posts aren't cheap as you know

you can never have enough room

The guy is charging me a hair over 300 for a new cushion, this is new foam everything new, and this is what I was thinking of getting instead

I like the ebay one, that is really nice. Just needs a backrest.

Decision made today when I got the breakdown on the cost of each pad. Apparently the high cost of oil has driven up the price of foam, getting the leaning post. I really don't care for a backrest though.

thats a tank of gas in my boat. i agree

I thought the leaning post was 100 more than the new pad, boy was I wrong it is cheaper... :biglaugh:

Todd is ridiculous with their prices. I have a single leaning post that I bought used from Goose. The cushion had a smal rip that I repaided with heavy duity clear duct tape. Well, after 2 years I do need to replace the cushion. Todd wants $163.00 just for the cushion. The whole post is only $250.

New leaning post came today. It is sweet. I want to fix the seat so it flips forward, and put a storage bucket under it.

I bought from the same guy 2 years ago. My leaning post does not have rod holders. It took about a week to ship and had no problems installing it.
Great leaning post for short money!
