The '12 pro angler was just announced with a really cool seat, the "Vantage" seat it raises up to 5 inches. Looks like a great way to stay dry in a TI. Any way to get one/put one on a TI? |

If you do a search on "skipper seat", you will find several how-tos on mounting a padded fold-back seat higher, and even further back if more leg-room is required. |

Having seen Hobie's video on the new seat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y34MsIUVWAY) I would be surprised if it could easily be retrofitted to existing PA because of the fittings required, or to other Hobie kayaks either (because of its size) |

There are no plans right now to make the Vantage seat adaptable to an Island. |

Would try, but I'm never going back in the cockpit |

Better than the plastic skipper seat. But will be at a conciderable cost here in the far reaches of Aus. I bet if I could get hold of one and all the fitting parts, I could make it fit to the TI or AI. |
