reclining bow sunpad

summerx

All,

I would like to add a reclining sunpad on the bow this year, but so far have been unable to find one available.  Anyone have a source or any ideas where these can be found?  I am not sure if rinker has the reclining ones on any of their boats yet, but was thinking that rather than just adding the bow cushion, thiat I would go all the way to the reclining versions.  Any ideas?

I would speak to Cindy at Rinker. If you search on the forum you will find her contact details. I haven't seen the recliner version.

Yeah, I've never seen one on a Rinker.  

Instead of a sunpad, we use folding seats like the Go-Anywhere Seat sold at West Marine.  Have you looked at those?  They are more versatile because you can face any direction, and you can also use them on the swim platform or dock.  They make a double-wide version too, but I think it would be difficult to store on a boat.

the go anywhere chairs are great I have 2. They are comfy but a little bulky

thanks everyone.  it also looks like they have a go anywhere lounger as well.  That may end up being the route I go.

We have a recliner sun pad from the factory. It's quite big and heavy. It's built out of star board and bolted to the bow.

All,
just a follow up to this thread.  We ended up buying 2 of these "fold-a-float" foam rafts.  works great on the bow and in the water.  you can fold up the top portion either into a wedge or stacked up for a pillow/headrest.  easily stores in the aft cabin.  just an FYI.
