: I don't recall any, but as Bill said, it's possible that they vary
: in how they are installed. Older VCP boats had fiberglass struts
: that supported the seat from underneath and although I haven't
: seen this in NDK boats, that doesn't mean that there aren't any
: like that. I found that a hacksaw blade, used on the pull
: stroke, works well for cutting under-seat struts, should you
: encounter them.

Thanks guys. I'm doing the job tomorrow, trying to be prepared. It's for a friend who's trying out some sea kayaking after years of whitewater. The fit is a bit different from a Jackson All Star, so she can barely paddle at all in that seat before she can't stand it and needs to get out. Not the best way to get introduced to real kayaks...
