Dual flip ups for both the Skipper and the Admiral.

I like that idea. I wonder about the height difference between the rear part of the bottom seat cushion and the top of the leg bolster? Looks to be several inches difference between the two. That could be uncomfortable after a long day on the boat.

Almost a must have on a cruiser with a double wide helm seat, in my opinion Seabuddy. I noted that in my review of the cruisers at the 2008 East Peoria boat show. thumb

I use my bolster almost exclusively, so I would like to have them on both sides.

That is not an option but an standard feature on any boat I am going to buy.

I have a double helm in my Crownline with a single bolster across the whole seat. The only time the bolster is down is when we are docked.

As for the split bolster, just seems like another set of crevices to collect dirt and Frito crumbs

I like the single swivel helm seat on my Glastron because when stopped I can turn it to face the other people. It has a flip up bolster.

Many do like a single seat.
