Description: Advantage II Sportsman 16" seat

See full details here:
http://www.butlerbuilt.net/2010_Tree/products_seats_advantage.html

Seat is new and unused -- only test fitted. Perfect condition. It is a standard 16" seat and is too tight for me in the rib/lat area. This is $1500 brand new from Butler if you called them today.

This was bought for (and fit) a driver 6' 170 lbs.

It did fit a driver 5' 8" 175 lbs.

I did not fit a driver 5' 11" 185 lbs (too tight in the lat/rib area)

Prefer pick up in Long Beach, CA but would consider shipping. Local buyer is given preference in a sale FYI.

This seat is amazing in design and structured compared to most aluminum seats offered on the market. Aluminum gussets and double panels make this seat one of the best safety containment seats out on the market.

FYI that is my son sitting in the seat (with out the head/helmet containment installed) and it is actually to big for him. I'm 5-8 and a little thick through the middle... and the seat fits me. The rib/torso containment is snug as it is suppose to be for extreme driving conditions. If you are local to the Long Beach area, you can make an appointment with me try the sizing.

Good Luck with the sale Dave

For anyone looking to or that has been seriously tracking their car on road courses and is interested in adding some needed safety over these pro touring seats out there, this is for you.

I'm 5-8 and a little thick through the middle... and the seat fits me.

Wanna take it in trade for fab work? :computer:

That seat ... the Advantage II Full Containment ... is my favorite seat for safety & comfort. I have recommended it as the safest seat under $2500 for years.

You can see how well it is built. It is designed to hold you in place & protect you in severe crashes. $900 is a steal. Somebody is going to get a bargain.

Best wishes.

Is located in Concord. I have been there and sat in an Advantage II seat. They are great seats. They are also $1475 new so $900 for a new one is a deal.
