Ever since man (and woman) began roaming the open seas, custom boat building has been a popular activity – and often a necessary one. These days, most boats are utilized more for leisure than survival, but many of the same principles are still intact in one way or another.
If you’re planning to customize your existing boat or construct one of your very own designs, then you should consider the installation of a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal. Today, we’re going to look at a few simple reasons why this ingenious device should be part of your custom boat-building checklist.
Even if you’ve never been in the captain’s seat before, you’re probably aware that waves can get very rough. It isn’t uncommon for regular seafarers to need seasick pills due to the constant movement. Due to the ill effects that these waves can contribute to, it’s important to mitigate these potential issues as much as possible. Installing a boat seat pedestal greatly reduces the vibrations caused by rough waves.
The small vibrations caused by waves – especially those you encounter on the ocean – travel from the captain’s seat into your body. Even though you may not be physically or mentally aware of this at the time, these small vibrations will eventually lead to aches and pains in your legs, arms, back, shoulders, etc. The relief brought on by a shock-mitigating seat pedestal will help eliminate this problem by absorbing these vibrations.
Many boaters try to tough it out and just shrug off the aches and pains caused by the vibrations of the ocean. The problem is that this can lead to more severe injuries such as pain in your lower back, a stiff neck, and other medical issues that could end up being long-lasting. By using a shock-absorbing pedestal, you can greatly lower your chances of a severe injury while out on your boat for extended periods of time.
As seasoned boat builders are fully aware, the best boating devices are those that will fit a wide variety of vessels. A shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal can be retrofitted to almost every vessel that uses a traditional boat seat. This means that there’s a very good chance that your custom boat building will be able to include one of these pedestals so you can get some physical relief from harmful vibrations.
Any device meant to improve comfort and safety while on your boat must always be well-designed. Shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals are constructed of high-quality materials that will withstand vibrations for many years to come. This means you won’t have to worry about the pedestal malfunctioning or not working properly as long as you purchase it from a reputable manufacturer.
If you return from a boating excursion and find yourself in pain, there’s a good chance you might not want to go back out on the water anytime soon. The truth is that if you don’t take steps to avoid these issues, then they’ll keep happening. Since installing a boat seat pedestal will help avoid vibrations that cause aches, pains, and more serious medical issues, you’ll have one more reason for more boating trips.
If custom boat building is in your future, then you should definitely consider the installation of a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal to improve comfort and safety. For more information on Seaspension® products or Parker boat accessories, reach out to us by calling (727) 216-9639.
Getting out onto the water is always a wonderful experience, but it can be a bit nerve-wracking when the waters are rough. Here are a few ways to alleviate the problems that you can have with boats in rough seas:
Just like test-driving a car, it’s always a good idea to jump in the captain’s seat of a new boat and take it for a spin. You need to familiarize yourself with how the boat handles and feels. As a rule, boats that are longer and narrower with more angled hulls will provide a smoother ride when the waters get harsh.
The idea of crossing the ocean at a high rate of speed is thrilling for many people, but it’s never a good idea. Not only could you endanger your passengers if something was to go wrong but going too fast through rough Waters will make the experience so much worse. Although it can get tiring, throttling back when you crest a wave and then speeding up for the next one will help you maintain a good speed.
Many people who love to go out on the open waters must deal with the waves making them queasy. This is why you should always have motion sickness medication available to everyone on your vessel. Whether you’re in the captain’s seat or enjoying yourself as a passenger, this will reduce the chances of a person getting sick along the way.
Having a first aid kit is also a good idea in case of any injuries sustained while on the boat.
When waves are tightly spaced, entering at a slight angle will often alleviate the turbulence and prevent the boat from dropping between the waves – which can be very uncomfortable. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to keep up your speed and the waves will basically need to cooperate, so it can sometimes be out of your hands.
Even mostly calm waters will cause small vibrations to travel through your body, which is a lot worse in rough waters. This can cause discomfort, aches and pains, and more severe maladies over time. Installing a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal considerably reduces these vibrations, giving you a much smoother boat ride every time.
The shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal created by Seaspension® can help alleviate many problems that people experience with boats in rough seas. If you have any questions about our shock-mitigating seat products or would like to place an order, reach out to us at (727) 216-9639 to order your Seaspension® pedestal today.
Taking your family and friends onto the ocean or lake for a day of sun and fun is a delightful and sometimes exciting way to spend a morning, afternoon, or even an entire day. If you’ve chosen to purchase a Parker Boat, then you’ve made an excellent decision! These boats are incredibly designed, articulately detailed, and fantastically engineered. But until you get all of the right accessories, the vessel simply won’t be complete.
There are many different types of Parker Boat upgrades available for your vessel, but few come close to providing the functionality and reliability of a Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal. In fact, Seapension® is the only Parker Boats factory-authorized option for shock-absorbing pedestals. Let’s look at why these Parker Boat upgrades are such a great option.
When you set out on the water, you often don’t know exactly what you’re going to get. Monitoring weather patterns will help, but you can still run into harsher waves than you might expect. Even when the water is relatively calm, you’ll still experience vibrations while sitting in the captain’s seat. Adding a Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal to your Parker boat will absorb all vibrations, big and small, instantly giving you a better boating experience.
Whether you’re on a lake or an ocean, vibrations caused by waves can cause a great deal of discomfort. If it gets bad enough, your happy day with friends and family could be ruined. You may not feel the vibrations while you’re boating, but the effects can be felt after you arrive home or even the next day. By absorbing the vibrations with the use of a boat seat pedestal, your ride will go a lot more smoothly and you won’t be in pain before or after a trip.
The discomfort you feel due to vibrations from rolling waves typically comes with common aches and pains in areas such as your joints, legs, shoulders, back, and other areas. If you’re in extremely good shape, the effects may be minimized, but even athletes can succumb to these types of ailments after a relatively short period of time. With a severe reduction in vibrations thanks to the installation of a Seaspension® pedestal, these issues will become a thing of the past.
Many boaters keep themselves fit, but not everyone can be the pinnacle of good health. If you’re a bit older or suffer from ailments such as osteoarthritis, back pain, joint problems, or other medical issues, the vibrations caused by being jostled around may either worsen your current condition or create new ones. The Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal installed as one of your Parker Boat upgrades can help alleviate these problems and prevent new injuries from occurring.
As either an existing Parker boat owner or boating enthusiast, you’re probably aware that some products are only compatible with certain types of vessels. Another great thing about Seaspension® boat seat pedestals is that they were designed to be retrofitted onto as many boats as possible. In fact, they’ll work with almost every boat that uses a conventional rigid post and those that require a solo post, dual post bench, or triple bolster seat.
In some circumstances, the discomfort felt during any particular boating excursion may prompt you to cut your trip short. Sadly, what starts off as an incredible adventure can quickly turn sour when you’re dealing with minor or major aches and pains. With a Seaspension® boat seat pedestal added to your Parker Boat, you won’t need to worry about getting halfway through your intended trip and then feel like turning back. This can lead to hours of more time with your family and friends.
If you take a few trips onto the lake or the ocean and you come home with aches and pains every time or soon afterwards, there’s a good chance you probably won’t want to get back onto your boat too soon. Since the Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal prevents these types of issues, you’ll probably be much more likely to take another boating trip.
Parker Boats are exceptionally constructed, and you absolutely shouldn’t accept anything but the best in terms of the accessories you choose. Seaspension® only uses the highest quality materials in the building of its shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals. This makes them extremely durable and long-lasting, meaning you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits for years to come and won’t have to worry about it breaking down.
Seaspension® set out to create the most effective shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal available on the market more than a decade ago. They researched not only the materials needed to create a quality product but also the science involved that would allow them to create a pedestal that would effectively absorb vibrations. Despite their outstanding success, however, new research and design is always ongoing, meaning that you can expect the highest quality in the industry – now and in the future.
Anything you add to your Parker Boat should be able to stand up to the most rigorous testing available. Seaspension® takes great pride in the quality of their boat seat pedestal, which is one reason why they’ve been independently tested from the very beginning. These independent tests focus on the boat seat pedestal’s durability, functionality, performance, and other pertinent details.
If you’re making a list of Parker Boat upgrades for your vessel, then you want to include a Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal. Made from quality materials by an experienced manufacturer, these pedestals will improve your comfort level every time you go out onto the water. If you have any questions about Seaspension® products, Parker Boat accessories, or Parker Boat upgrades, reach out and give us a call us today at (727) 216-9639.
Building a custom aluminum boat – or any type of vessel, for that matter – is one of the most gratifying activities for any boater. Whether you’re a seasoned seafarer or just starting out, you’re creating something that will provide many years of enjoyment.
As you construct your boat, there will be a lot of choices to make and a long list of possible options. One such option that you should definitely add into the mix is a Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal.
Let’s take a look at why this is a must-have for your new boat project.
Perhaps the simplest reason why you want to add a Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal to your custom aluminum boat is that you automatically get a better boating experience every time you venture out onto the water. The pedestal absorbs vibrations brought on by both light and harsh waves. This translates to a smoother boating adventure every time.
When your body is subjected to hours of vibrations when sitting in the captain’s chair, you’ll wind up dealing with minor aches and pains after a short period of time. Left untreated, this could lead to serious injury to your joints, back, and other parts of your body. A boat seat pedestal will prevent these medical issues from occurring or getting worse. This can be especially helpful if you have a pre-existing physical condition.
When building your custom aluminum boat, it’s important you install as many items as possible before it’s finished. While you may not think that the waves will cause discomfort, you’ll discover the reality soon enough once you go out onto the water a few times. It’s much better to be fully equipped with a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal right away instead of being forced to upgrade later on.
If you’re building a custom aluminum boat, then you obviously plan on spending a good amount of time on the water. The discomfort caused by the ocean’s waves – or even those on a lake – may make you think twice before going out again. With a Seaspension® boat seat pedestal installed, you won’t have these issues and are more likely to take a boat trip with family and friends more often.
Seaspension® spent many years developing our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal to ensure it meets the highest of industry (and user) standards. We’re always looking for ways to improve and only use the highest quality materials in their construction. Plus, our pedestals have been independently tested so you don’t just need to take our word for it.
The best boating accessories are those that are universally compatible. The Seaspension® boat seat pedestal can be retrofitted to nearly every custom aluminum boat that uses a traditional set up. Even if you finish your build before installing a pedestal or already have an existing custom aluminum boat, there’s a good chance our pedestal will work. If in doubt, reach out to us before your build is complete or at your earliest convenience and we can check for you.
Installing a Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal during the construction of your custom aluminum boat will ensure a smoother and safer ride every time you go out onto the water. If you have any questions about Seaspension® products or Parker Boat accessories, contact us today to order your boat seat pedestal.
Constructing your own custom boat build is an exciting project. You get to determine everything from the layout of the boat to the design emblazoned across the hull. You’ll even get to name the vessel, which is often worth all of that work just by itself!
One item that will prove indispensable every time you go out on the water is the Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal. Let’s look at just some of the ways that this amazing product can enhance your own custom boat build.
If you’re building a custom vessel because you’re a recreational boating enthusiast or a fishing boat designer, then you obviously want every trip out on the water to be a great experience. The problem is that rough waters can send uncomfortable vibrations through the captain’s seat, making your trip not so wonderful. Back and knee pain are commonplace after a long boating excursion. By installing a Seaspension® boat seat pedestal that absorbs these vibrations, you’ll enjoy a much smoother ride with no pain afterwards!
The last thing you probably want to worry about while working on your custom boat build is the possibility of injury after boating, but it’s something that must be addressed. The vibrations from harsh waves can not only cause minor aches and pains but may also lead to major injuries to your back, neck, shoulders, and other areas of your body. This can be prevented by installing a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal during construction of your vessel.
The more items you can install in your boat during the building process, the better off you’ll be. By including a shock-absorbing pedestal as part of your original custom boat build, you’ll be ready to optimize your time out on the water as soon as it’s completed. This is a much simpler and more convenient process than waiting until you experience discomfort and then making the change.
As a custom boat builder, you clearly understand that it’s important for every part of your boat to meet the highest of standards. Seaspension® has spent many years designing and perfecting the best shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal on the market and we only use high-quality materials. Our pedestals have also been independently tested by a third party to ensure that each one is the very best that it can be.
Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at what Seaspension® customer, Doug Marshall, had to say when using one in his custom boat build project:
“We had a very unique all aluminum Chesapeake Bay Deadrise boat built in Crisfield MD. The fear we had by placing the pilothouse at the very front of the boat, was the rough ride we would have. The boat has a modified, not a deep V, so this was a major concern. However, the boat would not look right if we brought the helm back, so we went with it. After looking at the great reviews for Seaspension®, we reached out to Ian and explained our needs.
The boat is now housed at the Sunset Marina in Ocean City Maryland and what used to be the horror of our boating (the trip through the inlet) has now turned into me showing off my Seaspension® to my guests. The product is everything it claims to be and I am planning on installing them in our fiberglass boat as well.
You would never realize how much 3-4” of simple suspension travel would help but I can assure you if you don’t own these bases you are not living your best boat life!”
You’re going to spend a lot of time creating your custom boat, which obviously means you’ll also want to spend a lot of time enjoying it. The unfortunate truth, however, is that the aches and pains that often come from sitting in the captain’s seat may deter you from going onto the water on a regular basis. With its added comfort, a byproduct of the Seaspension® boat seat pedestal is that you’ll be more inclined to make additional trips.
Our customers have been so impressed with the flexibility and reliability of our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals, that they often feel determined to tell their friends all about it. If you’re looking for a way to live your best boat life, Seaspension®’s incredible products can help make that happen.
With Seaspension®’s shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal, your custom boat build will be ready to take on calm waters and harsh waves. If you have any questions about Seaspension® products or Parker Boat accessories, reach
Recreational boating has become one of the most popular activities for millions of people in the state of Florida. Unfortunately, discomfort caused by the waves on the ocean or even a nearby lake can be enough to make these boating enthusiasts think twice about going out on the water. Let’s take a look at how Seaspension®‘s shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal has helped make a comfortable boating experience.
As your boat makes its way across the waves, vibrations are sent through the vessel and into the captain’s seat. Although this may not seem like it would be such a big deal, this constant vibration – which happens in both calm and rough waters – will eventually make your ride uncomfortable. As the name implies, a shock-absorbing pedestal absorbs these vibrations, thereby giving you a much smoother ride every time you venture out onto the water.
Even if you’re in extremely good shape, the constant vibrations from the waves can cause boating fatigue. This may occur while you’re out on the water, making you feel drained during your trip, or could cause you to be extremely exhausted once you reach home. In some cases, this may result in the boat owner either cutting a trip short to alleviate to the fatigue or deciding not to take as many boating trips with family or friends.
A big reason why your comfort level is diminished while out on your boat is because the vibrations will eventually cause aches and pains, sometimes resulting in injuries to your back, neck, legs, shoulders, and other areas of your body. If you have an existing injury, it can be almost impossible to enjoy yourself while out on the water because of the resulting aches and pains. The Seaspension® boat seat pedestal helps to greatly relieve this discomfort and reduces the chance of new or irritated injuries.
When Seaspension® set out to create an industry-leading boat seat pedestal, its ultimate goal was to make comfortable boating possible even in unsavory conditions. Industry experts and engineers involved with our company spent years designing and building a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal that utilizes only the very best materials, along with superior design principles. This has allowed us to leapfrog over our competition and leave them – pardon the pun – in our wake.
Since boats can typically last several decades, Seaspension® wanted to create a boat seat pedestal that would stand the test of time. Thanks to the high-quality materials that we use in our well-crafted design, you can rest assured that our durable pedestals will provide a comfortable boating experience for many years. Plus, our pedestals are tested by a third party to ensure functionality and durability.
Comfortable boating should always be possible no matter what type of boat you own. This is why Seaspension® has gone to great lengths to ensure that our boat seat pedestals can be retrofitted to the vast majority of older and modern vessels. You can install one whether your boat’s seat uses a stand-alone solo post, dual post bench, or tripod bolster. If you’re building a custom boat, we can work with you beforehand to ensure compatibility.
If you want a comfortable boating experience every time you go out on the water, the Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal will do the trick. If you have any questions about any of the Seaspension® products featured on this site or want to know about Parker Boat accessories, reach out by calling (727) 216-9639 today.
It seems that every year, recreational boating gets more popular amongst men and women of all ages. Many of these boaters are seafarers who have started spending more time on the water because they’ve retired or now have an empty nest, but an increasing number are new boat owners who can’t wait to enjoy some time out on the ocean or relaxing on a nearby lake.
No matter your amount of experience, it’s important that your vessel is always equipped with the best equipment on the market. Take Seaspension®’s very own shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal, for instance.
Thanks to our design principles and industry know-how, our engineers have developed a line of boat seat pedestals that protect from the vibrations caused by waves and outshine all similar versions on the market. To that point, we’ve compiled 18 incredible facts about these innovative and effective pieces of boating equipment that show why installing one is extremely beneficial.
Even if you do a great job at checking the weather before you head out onto the water, you sometimes don’t know exactly what you’re going to get. You may have bouts of rough waters even on a calm day, so it’s best that you’re always prepared for every contingency. Just remember that even if you’re dealing with calm waters, all vibrations can have a negative impact. Therefore, the Seaspension® boat seat pedestals have been designed to absorb both small and large vibrations.
Whenever you’re dealing with any type of boating product, it’s always best if the company you’re dealing with has ample experience in the boating industry. Seaspension® has been working in this industry for more than 15 years in a professional capacity while many of our personal boating experiences surpasses that by a wide margin. This means that we understand what boaters need and are better equipped to provide a high-quality product that meets those needs.
When we set out to begin creating our incredible line of Seaspension® products, we didn’t just start throwing things together and hoping for the best. Instead, we spent a very long time researching precisely what a vessel is exposed to every time it’s taken out onto the water and how that affects the captain of the ship and others.
By taking the time to understand all the minutiae involved, we were able to develop a boat seat pedestal that has proven to be highly effective in improving the boating experience.
When you must deal with vibrations during a boating excursion, it doesn’t take long before the discomfort leads to physical fatigue and exhaustion. If you decide to cut your trip short, then you’re missing out on spending time with friends and family. But, if you decide to power through, the fatigue and exhaustion can get much worse very quickly. By eliminating the vibration problems, you’ll be able to stay out on the water longer and not experience discomfort.
The biggest problem that a boater can experience when they’re out on the water is that these small vibrations, we’ve been referring to will often cause aches and pains in various areas of your body. These physical issues are often experienced in a person’s back, shoulders, legs, arms, and neck. By alleviating vibrations, these types of aches and pains are severely reduced if not eliminated entirely.
Although aches and pains sound bad enough, the truth is that multiple outings where you experience rough waters can lead to injuries in multiple parts of the body. If you have existing physical issues, then the vibrations you experience can worsen these physical health problems. However, even if you’re in fantastic physical shape, don’t think that you’re immune to these vibrations because you’ll eventually succumb to some degree of discomfort or injury.
It’s a no-brainer that setting sail out onto the ocean or visiting your favorite lake is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend an afternoon or perhaps even the entire day. Unfortunately, due to the very nature of the shifting waters, discomfort from sitting in the captain’s seat can ruin the entire experience. Seaspension® may have had some lofty goals when they set out to improve the boating experience, but our engineers succeeded – and then some.
Whenever you’re trying to develop something for the market that is the very best product available, it’s important that you work with true innovators. This is precisely what Seaspension® has done. From the very inception of our boat seat pedestals, we have set out to look at a very real problem that boaters were having and then develop a superior product that would meet their needs. Not only have we met every single goal of innovation and design that we set out to accomplish, but we’ve surpassed them.
The sad truth is that many product manufacturers in the boating industry and beyond try to cut corners whenever they can to have higher profit margins. This goes against everything that Seaspension® has stood for since day one, which is exactly why we set out to make an amazing product that uses only high-quality materials. As any user of our boat seat pedestals can see from their durability and effectiveness, our attention to excellence has certainly paid off.
Whether you feel the physical effects of the water’s vibrations while you’re on the boat, right after you get home, or days later, there’s a good chance that you won’t be too excited to take another excursion anytime soon.
Some boaters have such extreme reactions to the vibrations that they may be forced to delay the next trip for weeks or even months. With the ability of Seaspension®’s boat seat pedestals to give you a much more pleasant experience, we’re betting that you won’t want to wait too long before going back out again.
Our engineers are the best in the industry, but it’s important to us that every person who purchases our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals is confident in what we’ve achieved. To ensure that confidence, we utilize third-party individuals who put our pedestals through a battery of tests. This helps to ensure that our pedestals are always a superior product and that we’re focused on ingenuity, durability, functionality, and longevity throughout the process.
Another primary goal of Seaspension® when our design experts started developing our boat seat pedestals was to make sure that they could be used with as many types of vessels as possible.
We understood that no boat is the same, so our design principles had to take that into account. After a lot of hard work and our superior design efforts, we developed a pedestal that would work with most boats that use standard rigid posts and can be utilized as a solo post, dual-post bench seat, or triple-bolster seat.
Despite the insistence by everyone at Seaspension® that the shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal would be well-crafted and only use the highest quality of materials, we also wanted to ensure that it was affordable so that it would be accessible to the largest number of people possible. The good news is that despite boating sometimes being an expensive endeavor, we’ve been able to create a superior product that is competitively priced. It’s an especially good deal when you take into an account the boat seat pedestals’ longevity and effectiveness.
If you don’t own a boat but know someone who does, then surprising them with a boat seat pedestal retrofit would be the perfect birthday present, Christmas gift, or simply as a nice gesture. Just remember that you’ll want to do a little research beforehand because you’ll need to know what type of setup, they currently have so that you can purchase the right type of compatible pedestal. If you’re not sure what to look for, simply ask the professionals at Seaspension® for help.
As you can see, flexibility is a big component in the production of Seaspension®’s products. Our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal is great for all boating situations. Whether you take short trips with friends, long trips to celebrate with loved ones, or like to spend many hours fishing, our pedestals will help every trip go smoothly. And don’t forget that they’re highly effective on both lakes and oceans, so it doesn’t matter which you prefer.
As our users will attest, Seaspension®’s designers have done an incredible job at creating a boat seat pedestal that improves the entire boating experience, prevents a variety of injuries, lasts many years, and uses only high-quality materials. Our designers refuse to rest on their laurels and are always finding ways to improve our products. Our entire company is dedicated to always making the boating experience the very best it can be.
As you can see, Seaspension® has given everything we have into developing our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals and will continue to do so. If you have any questions about Seaspension® products, Parker Boats, or Parker boat accessories, you can contact our team by calling (727) 216-9639 today.
Once again, we’re coming up on everyone’s favorite event of the year – gift giving! Having a boater in the family or in your circle of friends makes things pretty easy because there are so many accessories available out there. You can pick up a piece of safety equipment, new cooler, robust grill, and so much more. If you’re wanting to make a real impact in the life of a boater you care about, then Seaspension®’s shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal should definitely be on your list.
Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the reasons why our pedestal makes a great holiday gift.
As incredibly fun as recreational boating is, it can also be quite uncomfortable when you’re being jostled around by harsh waves. If you decide to give the gift of a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal, then you’re helping to ensure the boater in your life will be comfortable each time he or she goes out on the water. It’s the gift that keeps on giving all year round.
Although some boat owners like to take a quick jaunt around the lake or on the ocean, the truth is many of them love to stay out for hours on end. This can often get difficult at times, however, because of the discomfort caused by vibrations from the waves. By supplying your loved one with a boat seat pedestal, they’re more likely to enjoy themselves out on the water for a longer period of time because they won’t succumb to discomfort.
Being out on the water is such a freeing experience that many boaters practically get addicted to it. Unfortunately, the discomfort that’s caused by harsh waves can make them think twice about going back out of the water again. By getting them a shock-absorbing pedestal, you’re making it more likely that they’ll increase their frequency of boating excursions.
Although a boat seat pedestal is considered to be a practical gift, it’s certainly not in the same category as a vacuum cleaner or some other item that doesn’t bring a person joy (well, okay, maybe the neat freaks get a kick out of it… nothing wrong with that). A pedestal allows an increased number of trips with family and friends while also ensuring that each trip is more comfortable. This is a gift that shows you truly care about the recipient’s well-being and boating enjoyment.
The designers at Seaspension® spared no expense in developing the shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal. Our level of craftsmanship is unmatched in the boating industry because we truly believe in our products and how they can improve the boating experience. Every inch of our pedestals has been crafted to the highest of standards.
The best gifts are those that will appeal to the broadest range of family and friends. When we developed the shock-absorbing pedestal, we wanted to ensure that it was accessible to most boaters.
We were able to succeed by making the pedestal compatible with most boats that require either a solo post, dual post bench seat, or tripod bolster seat. This means that whichever type of boat you’re buying the pedestal for, it’s almost guaranteed to work – and our staff can help you ensure compatibility if you’re not confident about it.
No matter how well-designed a boating product is, it won’t function properly if it doesn’t use high-quality materials. Although you may find low-quality knockoffs that will break down after being used several times, this isn’t true with the Seaspension® boat seat pedestal. By using only top-of-the-line materials, the pedestal will last many years even when repeatedly subjected to harsh conditions.
While the designers at Seaspension® are fully confident about our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal, we don’t want our customers to simply take our word for it. That’s why we always employ a third party to check out the quality, durability, and functionality of our pedestals. This is one way that we ensure a top-quality product every time.
There’s nothing wrong with spending a lot of money on an extravagant gift, but it’s much better when that gift can be reasonably priced. The Seaspension® boat seat pedestals are priced very competitively so they’re more accessible to a greater number of people. Since our pedestals will last the user for years to come, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth!
As you can see, the Seaspension® shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal will make a wonderful holiday gift for the boater in your life. If you have any questions about Seaspension® products or Parker Boat accessories, give us a call at (727) 216-9639 today.
Parker Boats are an amazing feat of design, style, and durability. If you want every seafaring adventure to be even better, then you should plan on adding a few accessories. To get you started, we’ve put together some of the best boat accessories that will make each trip more enjoyable!
The seats used in every Parker Boat are magnificently comfortable, but to optimize your comfort, you should install a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal. This pedestal absorbs the vibrations that are caused by waves out on the ocean and even smaller movements found on your local lake. This enhances the boating experience by avoiding aches, pains, and basic discomfort. What better than the Seaspension®?!
The Florida sun can get quite hot and sitting in the captain’s seat all day can make you drenched in sweat by the end of a boating excursion. You can help protect yourself from the heat by picking up a boat seat umbrella to block out the rays. This simple attachment is easy to install and will greatly enhance your boating experience.
If you like to go out on the ocean or the lake to do some fishing, then you should add a fish-locating device to your Parker Boat. This GPS-equipped device can help you easily locate fish in the water, so you’ll know the best places to drop anchor. Although you’ll still need to do all the grunt work, you don’t have to be a master fisherman to reel in an impressive catch (most of the time, at least).
If you’re planning to entertain on your Parker Boat, then you’ll want to have a gas grill on board. Depending on the type of grill that you pick up, you may attach it using a pair of brackets or on a single post. Or if you have enough room, you can always opt for a countertop grill. No matter what type you choose, this will give you many different food options throughout your trip.
It can sometimes be difficult to enjoy drinks out on a boat because if you hit a big wave, it could tip over and spill. There are a few different ways to avoid this, but one of the simplest is to pick up a non-tipping can cooler. These come in a variety of styles and use suction cups to adhere to the boat’s surface so that it will be almost impossible for your open container to fall over.
Most recreational boating trips will go off without a hitch and without any type of injury whatsoever. However, you should always have an onboard first aid kit available in case of either injury or illness. You’ll want to put everything from bandages and gauze to seasick pills and hydrogen peroxide into the kit so you can be fully prepared.
Whenever you’re on a Parker Boat, your top priority should always be the safety of yourself and everyone on board. You want to be prepared for any situation, so make sure that you have plenty of life jackets for everyone, in addition to flares in the event of an emergency. If you want to be overly cautious, you can also get a beacon that will alert others of your whereabouts.

With millions of boaters excited to get back onto the water once the weather starts warming up, you can expect this to be an exciting year for boat owners. To give you an idea of what the future holds, let’s take a look at some expected boating industry trends for 2022.
As with everything else, the COVID-19 pandemic threw the boating industry into turmoil. Depending on where you live, boat owners often find themselves unsure of whether they could go out on the water and what restrictions existed if they did. Going into 2022, however, local restrictions have been lifted, which means it’s somewhat business as usual.
Even though it’s business as usual, you can still expect that some boat owners will be taking more safety precautions. In certain situations, you may be asked to wear a mask or show proof of vaccination. While this may be a bit inconvenient at times, it’s always best to follow whichever restrictions you’re comfortable with and simply not attend any functions where you don’t wish to comply.
Truth be told, boating has always been an activity for a somewhat older crowd because of the expense involved. The current median age range is just over 50 years old, but we can expect this to tick slowly upward in the future. This is partially due to an increase in early retirement thanks to the pandemic and other factors, which means more people are likely to look to boating for recreation.
Given the increase in the median boat owner age and growing interest among younger boat buyers as well, more people are looking for ways to stay comfortable during each trip. Being out on the water is a wonderful thing, but even small waves can cause vibrations in the captain’s seat, resulting in discomfort, aches, and pains. A great way to alleviate this issue is to install a shock-absorbing boat seat pedestal on your vessel.
Even though much of today’s entertainment is connected to a computer screen or phone, many are looking for additional recreation. With more people wanting to go out on the water following the pandemic, the recreational boating market can expect to see an increase in activity. Whether you’re interested in water sports or simply want to take friends out on some type of personal watercraft like a Jet Ski, you’ll join the ranks of many others.
Safety has always been an important factor in boating, and thanks to advancing technologies, that trend will continue to rise. Many boaters are turning to kill switches and “man-overboard” alarms to assist them in an emergency situation. Others are taking beacons along with them in the event that they go too far out and get lost or their engine shuts down and they’re forced to call for help.
If increased retirement and the need for recreation are any indication, we can fully expect that fishing boat sales will increase. The desire to get back out on the water following the pandemic is another reason we’re likely to see more fishing activities. This also means that fishing-related accessories such as fish locators and depth finders will become more popular as well.
Along with the excitement of boating activities and fishing, more people will seek a more comfortable boating experience, so they can continue these activities longer. Adding a Seaspension® to your captain’s seat is a great investment. Shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals absorb “wave shocks” that typically cause back and knee pain, which can lead to the dreaded bloating fatigue.
These 2022 boating industry trends are certainly exciting. If you have any questions about Seaspension® products or Parker Boat accessories, give us a call at (727) 216-9639 today.
