Tempress Boat Seat Test
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hi I'm Mark with Tempress. I'm in the deep recesses of our warehouse and behind me is
our seat test stand. This is an impact seat taste stand developed by ABYC, which is the
American Boat and Yacht council out of the Northeast. Two hundred eighty pound boom,
8 feet long, goes in and hits this thing at a voracious velocity. In order for us to approve
our seats in the OEM market, this has to past this test. Junior lets go ahead and see if
it does it. (Natural Sound) What we're testing for here is to assure the
product doesn't have any deformation. As you can clearly see the product is in pristine
condition and ready to be shipped. Now lets see how our competitors fared. (Natural Sound)
So a quick recap after just one hit on the seat test. As you can see this seat failed
right here on the substrate, destroyed. As you can see this seat failed here on this
seamline here where the complete upholstery is shown, exposed and would be destroyed overtime
with the elements. And this final one destroyed probably in the most crucial area, which is
in the pin. Which means this seat just kind of labored back, uncomfortable and destroyed.
So I think the winner is clear, so look for the tempress tag on the side and live life
outdoors.
