I was going to get one but then I found a similar one on ebay which included a swivel and cup holders for $64.90

Saves me having to drive to BCF & I may be able to use the swivel & cup holder.
Was delivered today so I will mount it this week end.
I will try a clip rather than shackle bolt.

All good I got a PA 14 so I don't need one :yahoo:
I was at BCF on Tuesday and saw their deal.
I may get a simple bucket seat for one of the Wavedance Yaks that will sit lower (but not too low), I'm still thinking about it.

Hi Ken
Just read your post, Thought I will try it. Read another post can't find it again, indicating the seat on special at BCF ending today. I just ordered it and payed for on line $49.00 but have to pick up from Brayside as this is an in store sale and they have in Stock.
The mod looks good and this may stop my son complaning about his seat.
Thanks to posted the BCF Special link

Thanks Ken

Hi all, just an update.... I have been using this set up since july and am really happy with it. Easy to make, fit & remove! Way more comfortable than the original and a far better sitting position for dragging in big flatties. Have also fitted one in my sons hobie sport and he tells me it is much more comfortable. Cheers ken
