I've seen lunds with different bases, so make sure what you are getting matches your boat.

I had a 2003 Lund that used the "taperlock" pedestal and I wanted a butt-seat. I don’t recall if I contacted Lund, but after realizing the absurd price they wanted and being told it was non-standard I called the seat base manufacturer to see what would fit—they said it was not their typical size that is available in most places, but that it WAS available elsewhere.  They sent me a link to the correct product at a retailer  called Cascade Depot, where I was able to purchase the pedestal that fit into my base.  It wasn't a super-high-end pedestal, but it worked very well for the time I owned the boat and it was something like $75.  I purchased a cheapie butt-seat separately, but I would recommend spending the money to get a good-quality seat.  You can get good ones from  Llebroc for $79, they make or made the seats for a number of high-end boat companies.  http://pilotchair.com/cat-llebroc-bass-boat-seats.cfm

When I purchased a new OEM butt-seat for my Basscat it was well under HALF the price Lund wanted, and it's a very good quality pedestal and high-quality seat, so it seems Lund is simply price-gouging.[/QUOTE]
