: Bill, I used a sculpted seat blank from Joe Greenley at Redfish
: Kayaks. Most fiberglass kayaks have a fairly good seat to mold
: from.

: By the way, one of the great things about Greenley's seats is that
: the sides are high enough that I don't need to build hip plates
: in my kayaks anymore. Even rolling, those seats are enough for
: me to stay firmly in place.

Thanks John :)

I really prefer a molded glass seat, to me it's really the most comfy long term.

I am still working on a hung fabric seat, but need to find a sewing machine again, gave mine away figuring I had no use for it (figures). Used it commercially many years ago.
