Good clean job. Can’t wait to see the sea trail. Do you have any worries about the way the boat/yak will handle and perform with all this extra? Again, good job my friend.
Thanks! I'm not concerned about the added weight because I will still be below the max capacity even with me. I was careful to distribute the weight across the entire hull which should really help. But, you never know until you take it out and test it.

This worked out so perfectly..👍🏼😎😃
Thanks Vinny!
Thanks for the mention Aksmaniyak! Great project.
THAT is one heck of a seat project! NICE!
Thanks Gary!
good build..
Thanks David.
Nice Project!!!!! Thanks for sharing. The heat shrink tubing added a nice touch.
Thanks John!
That’s a quality build thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mike!
Great Job !
Thanks Gerry!
No Drilling into the Hull. Swivel Seat. Great Project. Any leaking into the Hull from any of the other drill holes like on the rails?
Thanks. The only minimal water in the hull from any mods. A large sponge was enough to sop it up.
Where does the water pool and where do you remove it? I ask because I fish in the Ocean and choppy Bay waters. I often get swamped.
It didn't pool. It was just damp inside.

I built tips found it to be much more tippy what did you do to counteract that
It was tippy the first time I took it out on the water but I became used to it very fast. It was very responsive and stable.
How tall is that seat from the floor? I am building a similar skiff from the ground up and trying to determine a safe seat height
The lower (butt) section is about 10" above the deck.
I bought exactly the same boat. Hero skiff 130. Can you make me a seat mount exactly like yours. I just want the seat mount
It isn't that difficult. The video has all the info you need.
what about putting the lower forward support bar up to the top so you can slide the seat back and open the hatch?
You could do that but I wanted the seat to be secure and not move when on the water.
Anyway you could build a motorized power pole?
It could be done but I don't think it would be very practical. Even the actuator motor lift is not worth the cost or build space in my opinion.
Great build and video!
What would all the parts cost today 3/2024? Just a rough estimate would be helpful.
Thanks!!
The prices are still pretty close to the original build.
