Seat replacement for a hobie revolution

Here's one that is comfortable (high back) and a universal fit. It appears that like a lot of things the Covid19 problems has made supplies of a lot of thing hard to get and prices to be higher than 9 months ago. OEX has several model they can get but the other are a little more money. This one I would say is the starting point of a decent seat. here is a link to their catalogue. OEX has a store in San Diego in Kearney Mesa and another up at Sunset Beach if you are closer to LA area. Through this link you can get it from their online store (kayak fishing supply) and have it shipped and save fuel. P.S. the Hobie original seats suck, they were very uncomfortable. Figured you bought Jorge's Revo. The attached picture is for the one through OEX/kayak fishing supplies.

This is a similar seat but less than 1/2 the price on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rage-Powers...8AAOSwS-NfBoQH

Thanks for the reply I was hoping to find a elevated seat

There are a handful of youtube videos of folks showing how to Macgyver an Ascend seat onto their Outbacks. I have yet to see someone do it on a revo. They have also been complaining of this seats rusting out. I outfitted mine with a stadium seat made of aluminum. You are not going to be able to just put up an ISO thread and have one fall on your lap. You or someone else is going to have to get there hands dirty. I might also add, putting an elevated seat on a revo might be asking for trouble. It's narrower than an outback. You probably should have just bought a kayak that came with it

Just wanted to 2nd this. I tried to add a stadium seat to an old Cobra kayak - talked to a few dealers and enthusiasts and everyone I talked to told me it was possible, but not the best idea due to stability. There are plenty of youtube videos about how to do it - just be careful if you do!
