: Looking to go with REdfish CUSTOM kayak seat (around $150) for my
: Night Heron. anyone with Pros/Cons on this item??? Besides cost
: that is.
: AND: do NOT want to bolt holes for foot rests. Found PrimeNylon
: pair online at Duckworks ($30) that can be epoxied in. Pros/Cons
: on this item?
: WIll not be in the ocean or hard water of any kind. Calm lakes and
: ponds for this baby.

I put the basic Redfish seat in my Chessie; love it, but on my Storm LT, I'm going custom Redfish, as well. I'm sure, given effort/time/'do overs', I could build a nice one..... butt. I'd like that part of me to not be uncomfortable.

I used the SS bolts/base, epoxied them inside the hull. You could hang a steer from one of those, they're so strong.
McMaster Carr, I believe. I'm missing my extras - but when I last bought, 10 of them cost me about $10.
