Adding a captain's chair to lower helm - ideas?

The friendliest place on the web for anyone who enjoys boating.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Nice chair, but out of my price range.
Just curious - why do the Stidd chairs cost about 10x as much as Flexsteel's?

Engineering,


The good Stidds are to keep your spine together in 6G to 8G loads from a fast boat in big water.

The RV seats sometimes have an air shock , but it is not up to boat style impacts.
 
How much do the Flexsteel helm chairs cost? I perused their website, but didn't see prices. Ebay search only produced saloon chairs and couches (nice!).
 
Glastop and Brad&Hall sell them, the helm seats from Flexsteel run about $500-$600, plus about $150 for pedestal. So you can get the seats for under $1k with shipping.

Maybe if we have enough interest here on the forum, we could band together and get a group discount?
