A chair is a chair! BUT - Aboard boat a really comfortable, long lasting,
accommodative chair is worth its weight in gold for long periods of deck sitting while on the hook and simply enjoying the pleasures of boat life.
$100 marine-comfort chair that lasts 5 to 10 years = $10 to $20 per year. $200 marine chair = $20 to $40 per year. Have four aboard and cost = $80 to $160 per year.
If you can't afford that for overall hundreds of hours comfortable sitting aboard boat... might I suggest... skate boarding as your new inexpensive hobby - NO chair Needed!
