: This option is bought not made, raises me about 1/2 inch higher
: than i'd like, and adds 3+ lbs so make of it what you will...
: But I just installed a sitbacker canoe seat to my great awk and
: am now enjoying great comfort. I mounted it with sealect foot
: brace stud mounts and 5/8" rubber "C" hose clamps
: so it is removable and the homemade seat can be reinstalled as
: desired. I have been taking some longer flatwater weekend trips
: and was looking for a bit more back support. Under $50 and very
: comfortable, but not right for every application; depends on
: your kayaking plans.

Btw, you also need to consider your cockpit design to make sure it doesn't impact your center of gravity too much.
