Yes. Just got one. It is the same configuration as the one pictured, less the GW oval tag and hand grab. It is going to look sweet!

It looks super and I'm sure it will work out well. I have not installed, likely next month.

I love the chair. I use it 50/50 (folded up as a leaning post and front section of seat down as a chair). I'd def get it again.

Funny was cleaning out my email and I found the sales receipt.
Ordered 2/18/2021 and got installed in the spring of that year. I thought it was more than 2 years but no.
Fixed pedestal was $53. Chair was $1,133. Slider was $98 and I got a 10% discount with a THT coupon and free ship. The entire purchase was $1155. Prob a bit more these days.....

I have the same/similar on my 306. They are great seats.

This spring, I hope to make some protective slip covers for them, because I tend to get the fairly dirty while fishing.

Just to be clear, Llebroc will not sell the GW chair. They will sell you the same model, but it won't have any GW stitching on it.

Here is the backside. I opted for the narrow version with vinyl back but there is a hard plastic option you can get in a few different colors.
Voyager Sand was the vinyl color that GW uses. Link to website if interested.

Thank you for that, did it bolt up to your previous swivel mount/slider? Did it end up the same height with bolster down? The narrow version, same width as you had? No fat asses allowed or "Bolster UP"!

Sorry, I reread post, you got a new pedestal and slider. Still wonder about the height, I suppose it could be cut down?

It will fit your existing pedestal. Mine was an adjustable one that had some play in it even after I tried to address. You can try it on your existing - should just slide over and see how the height works for you. When ready install the fixed pedestal and then make your first cut (don't cut too much off). Do this in succession and you should locate the height that works best for you.
