More please. How's the base attached? What the heck is that post and slotted deal that is holding up the back? I have been toying with a skipper seat conversion, but haven't found the right one...maybe this is it.... |

Very nice! I am going to have to figure out how to do something like this because I'm sick and tired of sitting so low (even with waterproof cushions) and having a wet butt and sore back. |

That's a work of art Hogman. Well executed. Is it easily removable, if you need to go back to kayak mode ? With the centre of gravity of using the skipper seat being higher, I've found that I need to go back to the original Hobie seat when I just want to go for a paddle. |

Awesome. Practically a Barcalounger. Just need to add the footrests and remote control! Speaking of which, can you still reach the tiller ok without leaning? |

I can use wing nuts on the base and the back so they are quickly removed, however I always go out with at least one outrigger. NOHUHU wrote: Awesome. Practically a Barcalounger.

I've had mine viewtopic.php?f=69&t=48290&hilit=skipper on the AI for a few months now and wouldn't go back. The positives certainly outway the negatives. |
