In Response To: can you explain hybrid (Frank Eberdt)

: been following this thread because I also need to build a seat
: so what is a hybrid
: a foam seat is one type
: a fiberglass seat (a la Shawn Baker) is another type
: hybrid appears to imply a mixture of the two
: so how does that work, what part is glass and what part is foam
: thanks
My thought was a fiberglass seat fits exactly to the shape your posi is when you cast it but after he paddles his kayak at 7 to 8 knots he is going to look like Arnold S and no longer fit and the bit of foam over the glass seat would keep your from having hard spots but not have to buy so much of the expensive minicell foam. Add the electric heat and tap and you would be set:-)
Don.
