Boat Seats. Custom seating in a Maine built Downeast boat. The seats are made from white oak. Besides the clean, nautical lines, storage was incorporated in every aspect of each seat. Under the captain's seat there is a removable foot rest where extra cables, zip ties and such are stored. The air handler for the heat and air conditioning is located in the captain's seat also.
A good seat is the key to comfortably sitting in a kayak for hours at a time. The seat is the primary contact between the paddler and the boat and as such it is the primary tool for controling the kayak.There are some pretty nice pre-made seats available if you don't feel up to making your own, but I don't think any are as comfortable as this one I make using 3 thick minicel foam.he back of the seat should be rounded. Think about the shape of a cast iron tractor seat. The idea is to get the shape to fit. If a farmer could sit all day in hard cast iron, you should be able to make something comfortable with foam.
