Don’t want to sound overly critical, but damn…… you have a major talent for making a short story long !

[@FunnerToDoIt]

Fair enough. LOL! Like and subscribe for some more long short stories :)

Great to see the difference in these seats. A real improvement.
Being attached through D rings is also a great feature. You can keep a dry, unweathered seat.

Thanks. I'll be doing the same. I randomly already bought the same seat from Amazon before finding this video. Cheers!

[@FunnerToDoIt]

Thank you for the feedback. You are going to love them! Total step up from what we took off.

​@@FunnerToDoItwhat size pop rivets are you using? Where did you buy the latching hardware to mount?

[@FunnerToDoIt]

I used .17 in or 4.3 mm pop rivets. All the other hardware came with the seats. That includes the eye clips and the hooks.

@FunnerToDoIt All worked well, thanks for the info. Instead of spending 400 on another kayak just spent 100 and now I can remove the seat.

Does the taller seat interfere with a life vest ?

[@FunnerToDoIt]

I normally don’t wear my life jacket in the kayak. I just keep it on board. I did try it on though and sat in the seat. It didn’t seem to affect it. I hope this helps.

[@MikeBrown-eq6tz]

@@FunnerToDoIt thank you. I just ordered the seat then thought, I sure hope this doesn’t interfere with my pfd.
