Other option could be the folding seat/pads that paul and martin and james have. Not sure were they got them but look comfy and you can sit into the boat rather than ontop of it....

Hopefully they will be along shortly with a link

I found a seat at a boat jumble with the fittings, just had to add the straps - Ebay for £8.95 as I remember, the only thing I would add, if glueing to a pvc boat, is use MEK thinners to prime it first, available at most Chandlers, but a bit pricey for what it is!

That sounds very cheap. Did you get the 2 part glue? ?

Be careful with the MEK, It's nasty stuff.
It could possibly discolour the boat or entice cracking at a later date if over used.

I've no idea what the alternative is, I know a lot of folk use mek... it's just I deliver lots of different products (tanker driver in the petroleum chem industry) and I see what these solvents do to gloves etc... :LMT

I've just got one too......any tips on fitting it please? I'm worried about gluing the straps wrong. Did you inflate the boat and then wedge the seat in place to mark the correct place for the straps?

Apologies if I sound like a div, but I really don't want to mess this up!!!!
