Re: Help me with a decent seat
Sounds like it may be time to upgrade to a peddle drive (and maybe a trolling motor) if you are going to try and keep up with a 14 yo son without sacrificing your back in the process!
Probably not in the budget but there have been major improvements in seat comfort and stability in some of the newer boats.

Re: Help me with a decent seat
No pedals for me. I love paddling and I'm happy with the Ocean for the 6-8 times a year we go.Went to Wakulla Beach Sunday and paddled for hours. No fish though. We had fun, but my seat fell apart.
Any suggestions?

Hi Skillet! I've seen some suggestions for replacement seats for the Prowler that mentioned rigging up a stadium seat or a gel pad added to the stock seat or a Sea-to-Summit seat. I'm not sure if one of the luxurious Native or Jackson seats will fit in your boat but if so they are darn comfortable.

Yeah, replacement was just a suggestion. I ride a "very mature" Ocean Predator so I will be interested to hear what you come up with. I might check out Native or Jackson seats.WannaDoDat wrote:Hi Skillet!

We have an assortment of clip in seats that should fit your yak at The Wilderness Way. Stop in and check them out from basic to "skwoosh" gel seats with back packs.

Check out the " gone fishing" seat by ACK. I've had mine a couple of years and its been stellar!
