Zero turn mower seat

Greetings,
Has anyone got any good suggestions for zero turn seats. My Hustler Raptor seat needs replacing. They are rubbish. A cushion mounted to a piece of plywood. And it doesnt even look like marine ply. Ive seena few of the boat seats look like they might fit. Has anyone done this?

Cheers

I have the same mower, I flipped over in a big ditch and crushed the seat. I didn't like it anyway, so looked for a better one. I looked online until I found one that looked just like it, and that's how I found the OEM seat maker. I then went on their website and found mine, and bought the next better model. It's decent, slightly better and stronger. I can't remember any of the details, I just remember that it had a switch, and that no mower seats are good, only decent, bad, and worse. You may have to lower your expectations or get a custom one built. Good luck Matt.
 
I replaced a zero turn seat for one that had armrest and a lot adjustability for a third of the factory price, Website is called Seatwarehouse it's located 20 miles east of Indianapolis
 
Their telephone # is317-762-8700 for Seatwarehouse, sometimes it takes awhile to answer, good shopping, several styles to fit a lot of different mowers.

Hi Mat, if you need a quick fix while you are looking for a reasonably priced comfortable seat look for a discarded office chair. Easy to install & comfortable. May not last long if left out but real comfortable until you get your permanent seat.
 
Milsco (aka Michigan Seat Company) has some pretty nice seats. It's OEM for some equipment. They have several distributors, Northern Tool is already mentioned. I bought the V5300 for my Hustler Super Z. Pretty decent seat.

For some reason riding mower seats are ridiculously expensive. Vinyl seats last a very short time. It seems they dry out and crack in just a year or so. Fabric seats are much more durable, but still expensive. Vinyl seat $150 or so, Fabric seat $300 and up. A friend put a salvage yard bucket seat on his mower and is quite pleased with it as far as price(($15) and comfort. Hustler is a nice mower so you may want to go back OEM.
