For the current models without vantage seat , hobie makes an upgraded air cushion seat . Works great for a season . Look on sport chalet web site and order an air cushion . There is one manufacturer that makes the sleeping pads . Get that one . It won't let you down . And with the air cushion you will have no problem being on water 10-12 hours .

Thanks for the reply. It is the back portion of the seat that is digging into me. I have a butt pad that works great but my back is getting jabbed by whatever hobie has incorporated into the back portion of their seat.

Any pics of pegs ? Hobies sells an adapter that would allow you to have newer seat . It has this quick release twist in connector . Way better than the old connector which has tendancy of popping out , seizing up , possibly even splitting kayak . I would grab a new seat and these upgraded seat mounts . It will cost you a small fortune , but will last you years to come . Personally I would stay with hobie stuff . Any other manufacturer and you will have to do some drilling into yak for mouthing eyelets .
