Do you need

Do you need just the seats, or the railing too. If you just need the seats, then it's simple make your own. Not a big deal at all. Look around your marina, find some you like and just copy them.

I don't remember where I saw this.... I think it was a book called 101 simple boat upgrades... but you simply cut two triangular pieces of sunbrella. sew a rope around the seem with a loop of rope comping out of each corner. Tie the loops to stanchions and add gromets where the cloth edges meets a stanchion and tie them as seen in the diagram. Viola! two hammock style corner seats. Mind you... I have not tried this yet.... just remember seeing it in some book and tucked it away for a winter project

I made a set. No real metal work involved. I did add a lower rail because our stern rail only had the upper and my legs aren't that long!
Materials:
appropriate length and diameter of ss tubing (if lower rail is needed)
ss clamps to attach horizontal lower rail to vertical parts of stern rail (if lower rail needed)
Nylon rail clamps for mounting the seats to the lower rail (4 needed)
Wooden seat or thick starboard material (3/4" or better)
NOTE: I bought an unfinished teak locker cover from a used marine parts dealer. The locker I think it fit would be the ski locker in the sole of a powerboar (typo on purpose). I cut the hatch cover in half by making a tracing of one end and then drawing that at the centerline of the length of the cover. Simple saber saw work and a bit of router use completed the shapes. Cetol finish.
two flagpole bases and a length ot tubing for each to make a leg centered on the seat
two crutch tips to prevent marking the cockpit seat.

Several days for the project. See pictures if they post.

BTW: First pic shows an unorthodox method of securing the boat using the stern cleat! I only did that to hold the boat temporarily closer to the dock. Beg your pardon!

The price on those remind me of a 1500.00 dollar cockpit table sold by a steering manufacturer. How BAD would you want to throw away money?
Mr. Seahorse has got this figured out hands down.

Would be nice

It would probably be a nice break to get that far north this time of year. It's hot, hot and hot in S. Louisiana now. But kind of a stretch for a couple of stern rail seats. :)
