{"product_id":"taylor-made-flip-flop-boat-seat-beige-storage","title":"Taylor Made Flip Flop Passenger Boat Seat with Storage, Beige","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eTaylor Made's flip flop passenger seat gives you one seat that works two ways. The beige backrest pivots on aluminum hinges to face forward or aft, so it's right at home on a pontoon or deck boat. Marine-grade vinyl, a rotomolded base, and an under-seat storage compartment round it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flip flop seat earns its spot on a boat by doing two jobs at once. Taylor Made's 433063 gives you a full passenger seat with a backrest that swings to let you face either direction. So the same seat works whether you're riding forward at cruise or turned around to watch the kids ski behind the boat. It's beige, it's built from marine-grade materials top to bottom, and it hides a storage compartment under the cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what the flip flop design actually does for you. The backrest pivots on aluminum hinges from one side of the seat to the other. Sit facing the bow while you're running, then flip the back over and you're facing aft without moving the base an inch. On a pontoon or deck boat that's the difference between a seat that only works one way and one that keeps up with how people actually use the deck. Fishing off the stern, keeping an eye on a tow rope, or just turning to talk to the folks behind you. The seat measures 34.5 inches long, 25.5 inches wide, and 31 inches tall, so it fills a standard bench spot nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor Made didn't cut corners on the build. The frame is rotationally-molded marine-grade polyethylene, which means it shrugs off water and won't rot or corrode the way a wood-cored base can. The cushions are wrapped in marine-grade vinyl over mildew-resistant polyurethane foam, so a wet swimsuit or a rainy afternoon won't leave you with a musty seat. The staples and mounting fasteners are stainless steel, the hinges are aluminum, and even the stitching uses UV-resistant polyester thread. That last detail matters more than it sounds. Cheap thread is usually the first thing to let go on a boat seat, and when the stitching pops the fabric follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe under-seat storage compartment is a genuinely useful touch. It swallows life jackets, dock lines, a ditch bag, whatever you want off the deck and out of the sun. Worth noting: this is a backrest seat, not a high-back. There's no headrest, so if you want neck support on long offshore runs this isn't the seat for that. It's built for deck and pontoon duty where you're up and moving around, not for hours of cruising locked into a bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward if you plan the mount. The rotomolded base wants bolts through solid backing. On an aluminum pontoon deck, pre-drill your mounting holes and use backing plates or large washers so you're not loading all the stress onto a few points. That's the one place we see these bases crack, and it's completely avoidable with a proper mount. The seat is non-foldable, so measure your storage space before winter. It doesn't collapse flat for a low shed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is simple. Wipe the beige vinyl down after trips, especially if sunscreen or fish slime gets on it, since lighter colors show marks faster than dark ones do. And hit the backrest pivot with a shot of marine grease a couple times a season. Salt air will stiffen any hinge over time, and a little grease keeps the flip flop action smooth for years. Do that and this seat will outlast a lot of the boat around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Pontoon owners, deck boat owners, anyone who wants a second seat that pulls double duty facing forward or aft. It's a Taylor Made piece, which means it's engineered and finished to hold up in real marine conditions, not a patio chair that got a boat sticker slapped on it. If you've got a bench spot to fill and you want it to work both directions, this is a smart pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlip flop backrest pivots side to side so one seat faces forward or aft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRotationally-molded marine-grade polyethylene frame resists water, rot, and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine-grade vinyl over mildew-resistant polyurethane foam stays fresh after wet trips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum seat hinges and stainless steel staples and fasteners for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV-resistant polyester thread keeps stitching from failing in the sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnder-seat storage compartment for life jackets, lines, and gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e34.5 in L x 25.5 in W x 31 in H fits a standard bench spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeige marine vinyl upholstery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable backrest supports seating in any direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-foldable one-piece build for a solid, stable seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Taylor Made reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhich direction does the flip flop seat face?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBoth.
