Hello,
I am looking to update my captain and passenger seats. I am looking for the most comfortable, high end replacements. Thoughts?
Thanks

Hey Dave. The base for the ISRIdriver seat is an unbelievably difficult thing to remove my suggestion would be take the bolsters off and have them reupholstered. The passenger seat is a completely different animal you can keep with what u have or put about anything over there.

I'm in the process of replacing both my seats. One reason i didn't just reupholster them was that I wanted 3-point seatbelts. The older coach seats only had the two-point lap belt. I priced them and found it wasn't much different going thru Marathon (coburg). They outsource the drivers seat to Prevost, the co-pilot seat is done thru Villa. By sourcing the leather/thread themselves, then sending to those two builders, Marathon can ensure the seats match. Bonus: The new co-pilot seat is 3 inches narrower, leaving a bit more room to walk thru. Let's be honest, the original co-pilot seats were simply wider than necessary. Of course the full body vibrator feature is a big hit for whichever of us is sitting in the passenger spot.
We spent several hours drooling over various leather options with one of their designer helping.
The results are stunning and have really transformed the look of the coach, particularly as you enter.

This may be the better of the high end driver's seats.

I would not take on removing an isri drivers seat to replace with something different for any amount of money. Don't really care to do repairs on them either.
What's that tell u?

I’m w/in a week of removing my ISRI seats to get them both reupholstered. Joe, you saying it’s a big pain to remove them physically - or you talking about If you are replacing w/ something different from ISRI? Hopefully not a biggee if just pulling to recover, yes?
Gil,
Have you seen these installed as replacements for ISRI seats? I am looking to change the seats in my 2004 Marathon. Mine has 200k on it and I need better support.
