: Greetings, O Learned Ones: Leslie and I are having troubles with our... um...
: lower posteriors. We had been using "Seattle Sports" seats made
: for sit-on-tops, and they really worked well in concert with the molded-in
: seats our plastic boats had. But on the flat bottom Mill Creeks, they give
: us a... well... flat bottom, you might say. Or in other words, three or
: four hours in them will cause us to tell everything we know, and sing like
: birds in general.

: I am resigned that I must now make form-fitting seats. But I would very much
: like to avoid the expense of genuine mini cell. So I throw it out to this
: board: has anyone any great ideas for making seats on the cheap... that
: provide reasonable comfort for hours on, ahem, end? Or should I just bite
: the bullet and cough up the dough for the real deal? Thanks!

: Cheers,

Hi Kurt

Do you have ANY glass cloth and resin left? Try one of the Personal "Bottom" seats that Shawn and others have made over the past couple of years.
Couldn't hurt! er... Shouldn't hurt!
With your experience and willingness to "Go For It", it shouldn't... er... Couldn't be too tough. A nice new side project that will use up excess supplies and/or scraps that would otherwise have little use and be tossed.
