Attwood or Springfield Seat Bases? Want Your Vote!

[thomasdgs]

Looking for input on which pedestal kit to buy for my build. I am considering either the Springfield Kingpin series, or the Attwood Swivl-eze 3/4 inch, both with aluminum base and nylon bushing. The Attwood is about 80% of of the Springfield.

Does anyone have experience with either of these brands or kits?

I installed 3 Attwood stainless bases, seat mounts, & posts several years ago.
I countersunk the bases for 3/8 stainless FHCS & through bolted.
No issues, I'm happy with them, although I seldom use the posts & butt seats.
I am in fresh water and boat is garage kept.
Nice build btw.
