I would think the 2 Captain's chairs with the aluminum bases would be heavier than the bench seat and fiberglass base. My buddy Dan when he had his 26 Billfisher put a Captains chair in the center right behind the helm and then had a smaller chair to the right. I'm not sure but I think he had a railing with rod holders on the rear of the bridge. I can see if he has any pics of it and send them if you wish; I don't know where his boat went after he sold it.
