do the seats lock in the "glider" channels on the bottom of the boats or do they slide loosely?

They don't lock in, springlike tension of the seat frame hold them in place. I wouldn't tow it with the seats on the boat. The glider is part of the boat itself and they are at the top of the side shelfs, so you sit plenty high. I bent my seat frame a little so I could move it easier while on the water.

they lock in. I am push n 280 and I sit very comfortably, great boat, love having wheels on the back, makes it easy pulling boat out of the water and taking to truck! just remember to not over tighten nuts and bolts when assembling seats, or the seats wont turn all the way. (easy fix if it happens) this spring I caught a 8 lb bass, biggest bass I ever caught could not of done it without this boat!

The seats fit in the glider channels very snugly. Once installed they remain there. Too reposition them one must get up, remove, and reinstall in the new position. I also fish alone and it is a very nice boat.

The seats sort of lock in position. There is an aftermarket item that allows them to slide if that is what you are wanting .

They lock in. Great little boat. I did change the hard plastic seat to a cushion seat.

you can move the seats wherever you want and then lock into place. many times I only have one seat in boat; since I fish alone at times.

They more like snap in.. But no they don't slide loosely..Their very stable seats...

Yes, they are loose, inflated cushions. (They are shaped to fit the interior of the boat so they don't shift.)

There is a screw on the slides that allows you to lock the slides in place, I think the folks having trouble with the slides have not made certain that this screw is all the way loose. Mine was not and the slide was a bit stiff. Once I loosened the screw....smooth as glass!!

I think so. They have the little nubbies on the back which keeps them from sliding around.

The arms slide into the holes on the sides and the back tubes slide under the seat. If the arms don't fit at first turn them around.

Technically, there is no lock, but once I set it in place it stayed put. There has been no sliding at all, it stays where I first put it.

They don't lock in place, but it is sturdy wood and they stay put. They just fit into each piece, similar to a puzzle. I would highly recommend these over the plastic. We love it!

We like the chairs, they do lock in place and are very stable and nice looking too.

I do not believe they do. I do think they are pretty secure because I have to pull fairly hard to get them to slide out, but I do not think they lock in when the top is closed. I will pay more attention when I get home tonight.

No they do not lock, we have never had a problem with the chair moving around. It would take some effort from a child to do so.

They are not really locked, just very tight. Use 2 pair of pliers and make a quarter turn. Once in place the swivels they work great, although they have a firm resistance. The bearings are lubricated.

The closed position stays closed but I wouldn't say they lock. Hope that helps.

They do not lock ...but they are tight so they don't collapse unless you want them to. I'm very happy with them ..there made well.

No, the seats connect to the boat in a way that prevents turning them around.

No, they just securely rest in a groove. No snapping into place, however, it has not slide out of place on me once while using it.

You can adjust it so that they are actually gliding, but ours made a horribly loud noise when you adjust it to glide and would sometimes slip back into the other settings.

They will move around if the only point of attachment is the straps over the railing. I positioned my fenders in front of the brackets that attach the pontoons to the bottom of the deck itself. After securing the straps at the top of the fenders, I looped rope through the side holes in the fenders, around the bracket on top of the pontoon, and snugged it down. The fenders will not move around or become dislodged with this extra attachment. IF the boat is not on the trailer you might have to get in the water to do this.
