In Response To: Re: Valley Pintail? (Brian Nystrom)

I guess I will just leave the seat for now. I will get used to it. It just seemed funnythat it was higher than it had to be, and much higher than the Romany. Of course the Romany has a real low back deck.

: The seat in my Pintail was ~1" above the hull. While this seems high,
: the boat handles so well that when I replaced the stock seat with a foam
: one, I stayed with the same height. Unless you really think you need more
: stability, I would stick with the stock height. Lowering the seat will
: make layback rolls more difficult.
