One guy wrote me saying he bought used riding lawnmower seats at a flea market, used 'em in his Chesapeake 18 and his wife's Mill Creek 13, and they just love 'em. Whodathunkit?

I use self-inflating seats meant for sit-on-tops, and they work very well in our little sit-inside Tupperware boats. They look like they'd even be good in a true sea kayak cockpit.

: I was interested to read this. I always wondered about those (Mill Creek 13) seats
