J- Using the same seat, just ended up ordering the Hobie inflatable pad. Man, what a difference! Easy to use an my legs don't go numb from no padding. Velcro really holds it in place too, I forgot to take it off before heading down the road and it stayed on the entire way. Don't recommend trying that one though.

Now trying to rig a PVC rod holder setup for the back. All the PVC here is in mm, so working with 30mm and 40mm PVC. Stupid 30 mm pipe only fits in the rod holders about an inch or two. I wonder if Hobie increased the size of their rod holders over the years? Still trying to figure that one out. And certain parts like 4-ways are hard to find.

Phil,

IIRC even English system don't fit perfectly. It's very common for do it yourselfers to heat gun or shave off their custom pvc rod holders to get that perfect snug fit. Half of kayak fishing is being a Macgyver
