The only negative about the air cushion is that it seems to fail after some good usage . It will start to leak at seams . Another Better option might be to buy a thermarest air seat cushion . Some sports chalet might stock them or they can be ordered on their website . The likely hood of one of these cushions failing is unlikely . You will have no issues spending 8 hrs on water with either one if these upgrades . If you use the thermarest cushion it will also help keeping your backside dry . Good luck .

Thanks for the detailed response! Been doing fine but the back is sore after a long day on the water. Was looking for a cheap mod and will check this out.

This is a lot cheaper than $2500 for the same hull with a new beach chair seat. This is the Seat I've seen "Iceman" recommend as the best aftermarket kayak seat for fishing long hours. http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...ic-angler-seat

I use the Sea to Summit cruiser seat, it has a tendency to slide around if not installed tightly to the hooks. It's pretty comfortable though

I can vouch for the Thermarest pad (about $20 at sports chalet). No leaks yet after a year of use and it easily doubled my comfortable time on the water over a stock pad seat. You just need to strap it to your seat bottom with a lashing strap or something.

TSugg,
I use a Crack if Dawn Spider seat with the high back. Im 6'2", everything bugs my back but I seem to do alot better now that Ive gone to this one with the high back. Its very thick and stiff padding so your arse isnt going through it and your back feels supported. Also Remind em to move around a little to change up the positions...just like driving a car all day. Also dont sit on their wallet, use a foam roller at night, 800 mg. Ibuprofin, Alternate heat and ice, jacuzzi jets go a long ways, stretch often, do more ab/core work, lay off the In-N-Out(naaa skip that one). Best of Luck
