paul, i hope you find this message. i just read ur post. last nite i began to install the hip braces on my artic tern.the big question now is..what kind of a seat did u install? the kit seat looks very primitive and an after market "happy bottom seat" i have is too wide unless i move the braces wider apart. for me, this is the most important part of the whole boat.

many thanks in advance..deeds

large to fit between the braces. any input would be most welcome.
