It might fit the outback like I got the idea from the innovations thread. This seat was put on the front hatch of a Pro Angler I believe. I'll take some picks and post it in the innovations thread tomorrow.

Nice catch! I want a chair too!

One day, I will try to get one installed and see what it's like...

Can you post a picture of what your's looks like without the chair?

Congrats on your p.b. flatty. Very nice fish.

beardedguy · 03-13-2012, 02:56 PM

Could we have a picture of the mounting bracket under the seat?

I was wondering if it would work in a Hobie also.

I'm feeling a bit helpful right now.

I modified a boat seat similar to that but the one i used in my Outback was the heavy cushioned type. Even though i sat up higher i also did not notice any problems and it worked great even in rough conditions.

I had four connection points and i replaced the two screw in holders in front of the Outback seat with hobies pad eye screw ins and i clipped the front of the seat (both sides) to those.

I ran a stiff stainless wire through the bottom of the seat which protruded out both sides and i bent them into loops. Those were the connection points up front.

I had two in the back as well. The point is you can do it on an Outback with a little ingenuity.

Nice seat mount and a nicer catch!

Biggameaddict · 11-19-2012, 09:36 PM

Congrats on the fish and nice mod with the seat. Looks like a great mod that will keep you on the water for hours. If you want something with more comfort they sell the padded ones for 50$ but its pretty heavy. Thanks for the info.

Cbad Mike · 11-19-2012, 11:59 PM

Congratulations on your PB!

I kinda dig the seat and may have to consider the same for my Stealth.
QUESTION.... do you think the seat is of sturdy enough construction to pop a few (2-3) rod holders on the back?
