Hey OEX, can a 3 year old Tarpon 120 be modified to fit this seat?

Makes me wanna downgrade next year from the PA14 to an outback since the seat looks a whole lot more comfortable now. Can't wait till they hit the store to test it out. GREAT JOB HOBIE!

Seat looks cool, plus the roller bearing drives and a skeg in the PAs.. The article says they had to change their molds so I doubt this will retrofit into older models.

Does this mean a $300-$500 price hike?

The price for comfort. I'm hoping it's only 200 bump. If it's 500 that's brings the cost almost close to a PA 12
