Captain Chair Seat I have a 2009 Chevy Tahoe LTZ, and I have a Seat Question?
Does anybody know if i can get rid of my second row Bucket/Captain Chairs and swap them for a bench Seat? Basically the Dealership had my model i wanted in only The Bucket Seat option and i wanted the Bench seat. Different people told me different things and i'm just worried that I'm not getting the right answer?
Yes you can, and all you have to do is put the word out, Someone out there might make a swap with you. But know your seats are worth more than a bench seat. You might even check with a salvage recking yard.
Captain's chairs, commonly called helm seats, are used on a centre console or fly bridge. Market is flooded with different types of these chairs depending upon the cost and quality. Some of the most luxurious and comfortable chairs come with advanced characteristics such as cushions that are extra thick and providing immense comfort, excellent pedestals, footrests and head rests, padded armrests on aluminium brackets and UV stabilized polyethylene structure.
Commonly, these pedestals have slippery mechanisms which allow the captain to modify the height of the boat seat according to his size and height. Often, these seats come with leather covers and brass details. Moreover, in some seats, there is added instrumentation in the armrests or a personal stereo for headrest.
Over the past few years, some chairs have been referred to as captain's chairs; however, their armrests and back supports do not come with the required vertical supports. As these chairs have some material between the supports, they are also called the director's chair. The absence of correct definition for different types of chairs has led to major confusion between them. Further, many people label these chairs as exercise equipment which are used mainly for elevating the core strength on the abdominal areas via abs exercises.
The price of boat seats depends upon the fabric used in making it. The quality of craftsmanship adds to the price of these chairs; however, according to many sport lovers, this is an extra expenditure. A wide range of prices reflects the use of different woods used for making these seats. In fact, the fabric used for the cushion also affects the overall cost of seats.
As these seats can be custom designed or manufactured, it is up to the boat owner to select the fabric, style and colour. While choosing the fabric, always buy one that stands up to harsh sunlight and salty water. Your local boat products' manufacturer or supplier will help you in selecting the right material for your boat seats. Many boat seats come in a combination of wood and steel, only steel, or cushioned, and some of these seats are hard while others are soft. These seats come without or with armrests, some are padded while others are not. They come in many designs which are displayed by the various internet boat suppliers and catalogues.

Yes the Defiant was built when I was there. I even got to sit in the Captain's chair for a bit. It killed me though that I could not take the camera out of my pocket and get a quick pic.
I consider myself very fortunate for the chance to visit Star Trek sets. A dream come true. We were even allowed to walk around the Paramount back lot for a while on our own. An extra treat!
