What exactly do you mean by your thighs are not so happy? I have a Redfish seat in my stipper, and I do like it. It's a comfortable seat, but after an hour or so I do tend to get pain in my the hamstring area of my left thigh. I couldn't tell you if that's because of the seat, though. I'm 51 years old, and I would bet money that if I was 30, I'd have no problems at all. It's probably just a function of my age and my particular physiology. They are very nice seats, and very good looking, too. If I build another stripper, I'll probably spring for another Joe Redfish seat to dress it up a little.

: I have a Happy Bottom pad in my boat and while my bottom is happy the thighs
: are not so happy. I am spending a fair amount of time in the boat and I
: know a carved seat with some thigh support has to be more comfortable.

: So, anyone have one of the Redfish seats in their boat? I have been back and
: forth about making my own or just buying one of Joe's seats. The price for
: his seats for what you get seems very reasonable to me. Just would like to
: hear from someone that has one and how you find it on long trips?
