A lot of people are interested, or at least I am, in making professional-quality work with as little effort as possible. Today I was cruising the Jackson Kayak web site to see what parts they have, and it's a lot. (I love my Jackson kayaks.) Of particular interest was the selection of foam seat pads. I really like the seats in my kayaks. I have a a kayak with each style foam. I have seen a lot of posts about how to make minicell-sculpted seats look more finished, and I think this is the ticket. You would have to build some sort of support under the foam, but they would look really nice, and for the price? You've got to be kidding. You couldn't buy the materials to make one for what they're selling them for. It does not show in the photos, but they are covered with very nice, durable, breathable fabric.
