Anyone got any tips and tricks to make the seat more comfortable on a canoe on a long trip?
Wow! How'd I miss this one. That's good!Put swivel seats on it?
Oh yeah - and a bow mount and transom mount motor.
(Looks something like my avatar, doesn't it?)
I have thinly knitted seat padding that is super uncomfortable, not mention, broken. Even though they look uncomfortable, this padding is more durable and comfortable. Also it is connected to the seat so you don'y have to take it on and off. (I have tried it on other canoes. Still haven't fixed my own .)I had one of those Coleman canoes with the molded plastic seats a few years ago. Sitting on that plastic was horrible! Made my behind sore and itch like all get out. So I mounted a swivel seat on them. The ones with a good back and nice padding. The seat raised me up about 5 inches higher and was a disaster. I rolled it twice the day after I put them in. I saw a picture of the seat in a Souris River canoe and it looks really comfortable because of the way it's curvedthe ones in my Mohawk and Mad River canoes are flat
