I can see where you would want to upgrade the seat, for ease on your back. It will be interesting to see any suggestions regarding the rod holder.

I use Scotty's rod holder on my pontoon boat and WaterMaster raft, but I don't think it would work on the kayak. The strap fits all the way around on the bladder of the pontoon boat, but I think it may push in the shape of the kayak.

Have fun paddeling.

Larry,
Sort of, mine is the hunt/fish version , which means it's olive drab but otherwise the same. You are right about a strap, it would probably distort the hull. I'm thinking about small diameter pvc attached to the spray shield tie downs, but removeable. Maybe glue on some Velcro straps. Another question is this; I saw a backbone brace for a high end inflatable it was made from aluminum, in 4 piecesthat made the hull stiffer. Do you think a pvc copy would work on mine?
