I bought a Creature Comfort seat from Chesapeake Light Craft, on the web. It's a foam seat and what seams to be a plastic molded back, all covered in fabric and net. It's great. I put it in my Guilemot and it fit snugly between the cheek plates. I was able to tie the back forward to the cheek plates. I ordered by phone and it took them about 8 days to get it to my house. EXPENSIVE, 85 bucks! But very comfortable.

I was anxious to get my boat in the water and did not want to mess around building a seat and foot braces. Got both from GLC, along with shock cord, and other misc stuff.
