I just gave an elite seat 2.0 to friend that has an original Jackson Cuda 14 and the original 1.0 seat. They fit the exactly the same but the 2.0 seat has plastic covers riveted over the four leg post tubes. I think this was done to create more surface area for the seat to rest/distribute its weight on. My original Cuda 12's hall cracked under the back right seat post even with the 2.0 seat. But Jackson was good enough to replace my 2015 with either a blank 2016 hull or a fully rigged but blemished 2016. I picked the blemished 2016 fully rigged and now have spare parts from the old boat. That is why I was able to give the seat to my friend. I personally think they have a deck design problem which I am sure will be addressed sooner rather than later.
Anyway, I think that if you were to remove the plastic covers from the seat posts of the elite seat 2.0 it would work exactly the same way they are doing it I the videos I have seen with the 1.0 seat and the Atwood pole clips. Personally the 2.0 seat is far superior in comfort, I don't think you can go wrong with it at all. But if your really wanting a 1.0 seat, my buddy would probably be willing to part with his for a fair price. Also, if I were doing this, especially using the Atwood pole clip method, I would put as large a washer or plate as I could find that would fit between the atwood pole clip and the hull so as to spread the weight more than you would have with using that little 2" pole clip alone.
