When I first had theese seats I was over 500 pounds! I never had a problem with the base cracking or stripping out. They were a teriffic, durable seat, even in my saltwater, guide use, enviroment. After their 7th year of using the same 3 seats I decided to change them to a newer style......HUGE MISTAKE!!!!! The side pins broke within a year and the seat covers started cracking and I was even down to half of my original weight!
