Industrial/Marine Bean Bag Chairs?

zip · 26 August 2015, 18:08

I believe that there are a couple of members on this site that have these on their boat.

West Marine wants around $120 for these, which is way more than I want to spend.
Target sells them for around $30, but I am sure the quality is probably pretty cheap.

Recommendations?

I am curious as well, my wife just pointed out that the ones at West Marine are I sale

Got mine off e-bay
Waterproof Bean Bag!...around £30,so I reckon you'll pay the same in Dollars!! The one I got is really well made,and is used in the Garden too.
Ideal for an (Add on)Sun deck,but only in CALM conditions

..

.....,Wouldn't like to consider them as seating in the normal context

yep, they are on sale at WM right now, but still pricey at $84.

One of the best things ever! My family loves them. Everybody loves them. It's very annoying, all my passengers fall asleep on the way home. Seriously. I'm training my son to drive the boat so I can sit down on them.

That's a good price. The shipping from Florida to California is the killer. It's like $50 (50%).

If I did it again is probably get the wedges for my 7m. I think three across the back would be perfect. I get three people on the two beanbag shaped ones now. Actually I think I had 4 adults back there whale watching.

Jason,

What are wedges? In your latest video, is that what your passenger's are sitting on?

The boat I am trying to buy now is an I/O, so I don't think I can bean bag the rear.

The shape of the seats. The wedges are square sided, not the teardrop blob. Check the two manufacturers, e-searider.com oceantamer.com I think. As identical products as you will find. Both equally well made and good customer service.

Yeah the IO is a challenge there but you can have a swim step. You could remove the aft box. Tom has the deck part i gave him to help that along

you lose storage though.

I looked at both web sites, and the products look similar.
Pretty pricey, but no surprise. If a description of anything has Marine associated with it,,,,,,,well,,,,,we all know what that means. $$$

Gotta buy a boat first.

Thanks.

They are actually made well enough to justify the price. It's not just the label.

My large Bean Bag is obviously a Chinese Copy of the Fat Boy but VERY well made,and 100% waterproof (it's been the Garden for a month!

and a fraction of the price....Trade mark says "Cloud"
I do have a Fat Boy dog Bed!...not sure what that means
