    Hey guys - I am wondering how many people would think it is a good or bad idea to have boat seat with message function it? Just a random thought came to my mind.

    What kind of message? Something like "Good Morning?" Or more detailed?

    Ok, I know you meant massage. The answer is "no" but we really don't like massage chairs. The ones people love hurt my back. Maybe it's how they hit me. Only massage furniture for us is we do find a massaging bed nice sometimes. As to the helm seats though I don't have it and absolutely wouldn't want it.

    I do like massages, by humans, not chairs.

    I have such a massage system build in the front seats of my Audi. Honestly, I have never used it up to now. An ergonomically well designed seat does not need a massage function as one will sit comfortably and relaxed. Other than in a car you can stand up on your boat and move around rather than have some gimmics chear you up. KISS, things which are not there, cant break or fail. But if you are using that flybridge seat for example in colder weather or strong nasty winds, an electrically heated backrest may be helpfull.

    Good argument. The weight adjustable shock absorbers are a very good system for fast boats in rough seas. Our German Rescue services and the driver seats in the pilot boats are equipped with this stuff.

    This is one of the leading supplier in this field. You find them on many high end yachts and high speed work boats. www.poertner-seats.de

    I have it in my Benz too and never used them, but sometimes I use the built in ventilation fans, like when I was on a 900 km trip last week...
