I could'nt agree more about the mini cell seats Joe Greenly makes and sells, their wonderful,their extremly light weight,add flotation,and because of the foam density it elimanates the need to install hip brace's.By giving him a few simple measurments,a seat can be built to fit any kayak.I've used them on my Redfish Springrun,and Pygmy Arctic Tern,and found them to be the most comfortable seats I've tried.
