In Response To: Beanbag seat? (Warwick Carter)

: Has anyone tried a beanbag type seat? More like a cushion I suppose. As long
: as you have a backrest and fit in the boat neatly (no side movement) this
: could give the rump a little comfort and get the C of G right down.

: Just an idea.

Maybe the bead filling could be mixed with a very light slurry of epoxy and put in a tight plastic bag and you set on it while it comforms to your butt and boat shape while setting up, then then take it out of the bag, sand it some and put a good cover over it. Another thought.
