Tournament Love Seat Extension

[JDC]

We purchased a 2013 Sport Nautique 200 at the end of lastseason.Fortunately for us, the localdealer had a boat in stock that contained an option package that largely fitour needs.We have enjoyed be boatimmensely this summer, using it for course skiing, free skiing, wake boardingand wake surfing.
The only item I sometimes felt was missing over the summerwas a bit more rear-facing seating.I donot have the tournament love seat extension in our boat and have the followingquestions.

1. Is it a worthwhile option or does it create toomuch of an obstruction in the boat?
   
2. Is it possible to order it after the fact?
   
3. Would the ordering be done through my dealer,Correct Craft or a third party vendor?
   
4. How much is it likely to cost?
   

Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance.

I can only answer to question #1 as I had ordered the seat with the boat originally. The seat gets used all the time and is very convenient. The backrest is hinged (very solid and well done) so it folds down to step over or step on (the back of the backrest is all Seadeck like the swim platform) so easy to access the bow seating. I have the seat in all the time but I must admit that when I remove it (real easy and in 2 seconds) to vacuum the boat does feel more spacious.

I too can only answer to #1. We use ours all the time as well. However with our z5...you have to crouch at the same time you step over the seat to get to the front. So we took it out for the first time this year and have enjoyed easier access to the bow. But that is the beauty of it.....take it in or out as needed. Also, we have relocated behind the drivers seat once in a while too.

I would have used it behind the drivers seat for sure!
