Carolina Skiff Leaning Post with Backrest

Custom Fit for a Carolina Skiff 21 DLV

This Carolina Skiff Leaning Post was installed on a 21 DLV for a customer who wanted more comfort and storage. First, we checked cooler measurements to be sure everything fit under the seat. Our standard leaning post is 35.5″ wide and gives room for a 30″ cooler. However, we can build different widths, so custom sizes are always an option. The frame includes a stationary backrest and four aluminum rod holders, which keeps rods ready without giving up space.

Comfortable Cushions and Color Choices

We matched the cushions to the existing Carolina Skiff upholstery. The off-white pleated vinyl looks sharp with the light brown accents. Because we stock many marine vinyl colors, you can match factory cushions or create a new look. Our custom boat cushions use durable marine vinyl and quality foam for long days on the water. If you prefer a different style, we also offer non-pleated materials and two-tone layouts.

Strong Aluminum Frame and Finish Options

Every leaning post frame is welded from heavy-duty aluminum pipe for strength and long life. We normally use an anodized finish, which holds up well in salt water and stays easy to clean. In addition, we can powder coat a leaning post in white, black, or other colors. Powder coating adds style and extra protection, so many customers choose it for a premium look.

Storage, Footrests, and Other Options

Most customers start with a design similar to our Sea Series Leaning Post with backrest and then add options. For example, this customer added a folding footrest that moves out of the way when not in use. We also offer under-seat storage with either a powder-coated aluminum tray or a mesh bag. Because we build each leaning post to order, we can adjust width, height, rod holder layout, and storage to match how you use your boat.
