I was searching this exact seat issue. Wet butt. Sore back. I have a mint, 2001 Tandem Mirage Drive and I believe you just solved my problem. And I already have an extra newer open boat seat I can use. Your center of gravity is most likely going to be an issue now as you’ve completely changed the dynamics of stability. Couple years ago I bought the Hobie inflatable pontoons, mounted just behind the rear seat and there’s no way it will dump with two 200 lb. men in it, unless you are intent on dumping it. Get on with the sea trials and post your findings. Thank you, young man. Steve, Plymouth MA
This was obviously a bad idea! The kayak has a low seat for a reason Go to his channel and you will not see an on the water video using this setup. THE VIDEO HAS OVER 10K VIEWS AND NO MATTER HOW BAD THE INFO IS HE'S NOT GOING TO REMOVE OR UPDATE IT.

Yes!!! I have one on those chin up bars in my garage 💪
Going to work great as a seat
With higher seat, does it create peddling issues? And how tippy does kayak get with higher seat?
Hey mate how do you go reaching the steer toggle.
That seat has more cushion than my recliner. Solid hack.
HAHAHAHHA! YES SIR!
you raised the center of gravity about 12 inches. the stability is gonna suffer quite a bit. But this was 2 years ago. How has it performed???
It worked well but unfortunately I sold it
Maybe on a flat bottom fishing kayak. But it appears a little high up and easy to tip over…
That's what I was thinking
Bro whatever you' been smokin', I want some! Great job! Can you do a follow up video of your modified modification?
Yes sir
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Well done
THANKS BROTHER! Hope to make my way down to Pensacola soon!
Cool hack bro!
Thanks man
That seat looks amazing!
Have you taken it out on the water yet?
Just wondering how much different it feels stability-wise.
The seat worked perfectly! You might want to get a lower seat to fit your kayak.
I call BS!
IF IT WORKED... THERE WOULD BE A VIDEO OF IT.
After some time how has the new higher seat working? I’m about to do the same thing, I have the Revolution 16. Would you recommend it?
Its been great! I really should do an update video to this one. Its helped tremendously.
Just curious if you did it let me know
Thanks for solving my soggy butt!!!
Well done!
Nice mod but you're sitting a bit high. Watch your balance.
Yes we shall see when I take her out. Might have to lower it. Or just build a platform for the hobie diaper chair. Thanks
High seat high yaker. Are your eyes even open bro lol?
Haha high on life
