: The Happy Bottom Seat from CLCboats is comfy, and for my bottom, perfect.
: They're also only $38. Sure beats messing around carving foam and futzing
: with the seat for weeks and weeks to get a fit you can have right out of
: the box.

: I even have one in one of my glass kayaks and am thinking about putting one
: in my other glass boat.
I just bought a Happy Bottom, to put in the Redfish Silver I am finishing. It is a little wide for the hull so it will have be to scrunched down a little to fit. I am comtemplating trimming the bottom, since it is also thicker than I would like, I want my butt as close to the bottom as possible. Has anyone cut into one of these? It the foam closed cell? I don't want to turn it into a sponge.
