Hi Everyone

My name is Scott and I live on the east coast of Canada. I am very excited as I am going to pick up my very first boat. I bought a 2004 Freedom 180. I bought it in March when we still had snow on the ground. I am picking it up out of storage on Saturday. Super stoked.

I want to thank all of you for your on going valuable information. I have learned a lot from reading your posts and look forward to picking your brains on future.

Happy Boating

Captains Chair is awesome.. But I find them low. I think I read in one of Ricks posts that you end up sitting on the back of it alot. I see a Bolster Seat in my future.. For me it was all about how much room there was... I looked at one that had the sunpad and a lounge back seat, but i find they had no floor space.

Rick I will definitly look for your input. I already have a wish list started....

Attwood makes a nice bolster seat that matches, but it's $$$.

My wife wanted the lounge (foldie thingies) so she could relax. But I like my captains chair. I will have to get a hat to go with it.....
