Wise Deluxe Lounge Seat 8WD707P-1-715 (Sand) - Fold-Down Comfort

In this review the Wise 8WD707P Deluxe Lounge Seat is evaluated as a practical replacement seat for small runabouts, ski boats and fish-n-ski models; it is best for boat owners who want a comfortable, weather-resistant back-to-back lounge that converts easily to a sunbathing flat position. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a molded plastic frame with high compression contoured foam and marine grade vinyl that provides a durable, comfortable surface with built-in underseat storage, so it refreshes an older cockpit without complex installation.

Key Features

• Fold-Down Lounge: The seat opens to a flat lounge position so passengers can sunbathe or relax in a full-length recline.
• Injection Molded Frame: The molded plastic frame resists moisture and simplifies mounting directly to the boat floor for a straightforward replacement.
• Underseat Storage: The lift seat cushion reveals a storage compartment that keeps small gear and lines tucked away and dry under normal conditions.
• Marine Grade Vinyl: The 28 oz. embossed vinyl is formulated to stand up to sun, heat and rain, helping the seat keep its look in everyday boating use.
• Contoured Foam Padding: High compression foam with an ergonomic contour improves comfort for long rides compared with flat bench seating.
• Compact Base Size: The Standard 10 in base height and 36.25 in length fit common runabout and ski boat layouts without major modification.

Who It's For

The Wise Deluxe Lounge Seat is aimed at owners of runabouts, ski boats and fish-n-ski models who need a direct replacement for a worn back-to-back lounge seat and value simple installation with added storage. It works well for those who want a comfortable lounge that converts for sunbathing and who prefer low-maintenance materials like injection molded plastic and marine grade vinyl.

Boaters who need a lower base height or who expect heavy commercial use should consider alternatives; some customers have noted the base height can be taller than original factory seats and a few reported mixed impressions of sturdiness on older floors. If you require metal-frame construction or custom dimensions, look elsewhere.
