: On that somewhat musical note, (I'm in a punny mood tonight), I have a
: question regarding seat size. In Nick's book he suggests carving the seat
: from a piece of 14 X 16 foam, and Rob Mack's instructions give 20 X 20 as
: the size to start with. Being somewhat large, 5'11" 230# I may need a
: larger seat than Nick would use, but being stingy I would like to waste as
: little of the foam as possible. So, what experience have you guys had? Is
: Nicks' size minimal or is it big enough for most? Has anyone used Rob
: Mack's instructions and found it to be the ideal size, or larger than
: necessary? Waddya think, Guys??

how about you measure the inside of your boat where the seat is going to go... and cut it to fit.
