Jump seats

Those of you that have the rear jump seats in your boat how often do you actually use them? Just wondering if they are worth having or not.

I have them and they are quite comfortable. Keeps me from putting extra seats in boat

I have a Lund impact, love the jump seats!!

They get used. Not fishing, but during the boating days.

I have a 2019 Impact 1875XS, after fishing for a week last fall on Lake of the Woods, the seats were lower than the sides from compression. The seats themselves are comfortable and the extra room is awesome. But if I used the back deck consistently I would buy the flip up deck style seats like on a regular Impact for the consistent flooring level. Guess I had better change my name on here.

I do everything to maximize floor space.

yes sir! if by some chance I have multiple humans in my boat

I have them in my 2008 Alumacraft Dominator 165, they really help opening op the floor space by keeping my from needing a 3rd pedestal seat if Im fishing with 2 others in the boat

Don’t use them much, but would not want to be without them for reasons already given.

Same. Mine sit super low to the ground. Only use when there’s enough people to use them I guess.

My kids sit in them all the time.

On my WX2190 they get used regularly. Love having them to clear the back of the boat on trolling days!

I have an Alumacraft Edge. They are very comfortable. Ideal to troll spinners in rod holders in front of you. Set the Ipilot to follow a contour or weed edge and sit back with a buddy and a cooler between you.

Same here. Nice to be able to leave the extra seats at home and leave more room for them to spread out (5&6 y.o.) while we’re out.

Alumacraft Competitor Sport… use them often, especially when there’s three of us out fishing, during the runs from spot to spot. If we’re out pleasure cruising, allows me to sit 4 very comfortably – 5 if I move the bow seat to spot in the cockpit.

All the time. I never use a seat behind the driver or passenger seat. Gives more room for adults to stretch out legs and more room to fish.

All the time. Prefer using the jump seats over bringing extra chairs, unless we have a full boat and have to.

They are comfortable but only time they get used is if the boat is full of people or the granddaughters are with.
