: Yup, I am afraid I too must put my personal paddling comfort ahead of any purist feelings I may have about do-it myself boat building. Problem is I could spend far more than the cost of a seat in renting boats to figure out which seats work for me. The search goes on.

If you found a manufacturer's seat that really matched your bod well, check
: with a dealer for that boat. Some of the seats can actually be ordered for
: less than a king's ransom, and the task of building same into boat should
: be fairly simple for any of us who can get one of these boats put
: together.

: [To Mike only: I'm contemplating trying a Current Designs boat again next
: spring at an open demo evening with a cooperative dealer, and if I like
: the seat as well as I thought earlier simply ordering same for the Spring
: Run I'll have done by then. If memory serves, I think they said it's maybe
: $45 or so. Shhhhh...they'll all tag me as a hopeless Philistine!:-)]
