I bought this boat a couple of yrs ago .....For the most part i Like it EXCEPT ...the seat !! I have had a hard time getting it under my butt getting into the canoe as it will slide around on ya , while you are trying to balance yourself getting in ..I would like to see a more anchored ,stable seat for this boat. The seat does tend , in my opinion, to get uncomfortable after awhile. Some sort of heel pad would be nice also.
