: Exactly what did you get? I'm thinking they may have given you a piece of
: minicell to cavre out a seat yourself. I would not expect they would have
: sent styrofoam as it absorbs water. Minicell is one of the most
: comfortable things for a seat you can get. I've seen many production boats
: that have had there production seat removed and replaced with minicell.
: Another place to look for seats is Newfound woodworks they have several

The CLC kits come with a two-part minicell seat. A relatively thin minicell pad and a ring that you glue under it to provide depth and a hole in the middle for your posterior. I would second the recommendation for a carved minicell seat and give a hearty endorsement to the Redfish pre-carved seats. Joe does a great job and I'm glad I got one of his seats to go with my King. You should be able to get a minicell "blank" from CLC or Redfish or several other places.
