Was thinking about how I did this, did it last spring so memory isn't perfect

I made a 3 sided box using 1x3's to hold both sides and the back of the seat, these don't get carved and a 3/4" square side for the front, that does get carved where your legs would be. Even though it looks strange, it's quite comfy if you have a ridge between your legs that is pretty much un-carved. You really don't want or need much depth where your butt cheeks are, mine is perhaps 1/2" thick there.

I'm going to do another of these this spring for the NDK Greenlander (stock seat is the pits) so I'll try to take pictures. Would have been nice if I could have used the same seat for both boats but the Greenlander has much less V in the bottom than the Disko Bay has.
