Harmony Fishing Sit-on-Top Kayak Seat

I am a keen Aussie fisherman and was looking for a bit more comfort. It is well made but the cushion is a very thin 1", it could be a lot thicker and a cotoured back would lessen fatigue.It is very well made and does represent great value for money. At 6'2" and 83kg I get a sore bum and back after 3hrs fishing.

This seat was very comfortable - fished from the kayak all day with no backache. However, the second time out, the stitching ripped out, rendering it useless - very disappointing.

The straps in the front need to be a little longer for some kayaks (like mine). The cushioning wasn't as thick as I had hoped.

We recently purchased a couple of beginner kayaks for a child and I. Both had molded seats with no cushions. The child's seat installation required two pad eyes attached forward of the seat and a couple of plastic automotive rivets to hold the base down; I used screw in rivets, which don't require access to the seat underside and are easily replaceable. Once the rod holder's were removed, the child found the seat very comfortable. Installation in the sit-in fishing kayak was straight forward. Four small pad eyes, but I think I'll eventually remove the rear straps going the rivet route. I tried the rod holders, but removed them as it's easier to get to deck mounted holders. In a sit-in, the rod holders will stop the seat from comfortably reclining. All in all, a great deal more comfortable than hard plastic. The jury's out w.r.t. durability, but they seem reasonably well constructed

One of the straps that attaches the seat to the boat ripped off the seat the second time I used it!
