SOT Yaks seats get wet often?

My first yak had a Jackson style seat and now my 2nd is the Outback with Vantage so my ass has stayed dry. Sold my 1st yak too soon as my son wants to get into fishing with me more so Im looking for an inexpensive SOT but do the seats generally get wet often and should always expect it?

Wet ass or waders. The choice is yours!

Talking

I have a Hobie Revolution with the vantage seat and when it's a little choppy my ass still get wet because of the low side rails. I you don't like it then you get waders or a boat.

You know you don't have to live with wet ass right? Get a couple air cushions and elevate your butt an inch or so, that usually keeps my ass pretty dry during the warmer months. And have a sponge handy to drain out any pooling water in the seat.
