Hi,
New to float tubing and this forum.
My wife bought me a Fis Cat 4 for my birthday and I am excited to use it. I have read a lot about people complaining about the foam seats. I researched into possibly replacing with inflatable seats, but the option through The Creek Company will run me $78 CDN before shipping. Wondering if anyone found some cheaper options that work well?
Thanks
Jason

Welcome aboard Jason!
I say take the tube out and decide for yourself.
I weigh 200 pounds and regularly stay out for 6 hours or so with no problems on a foam seat. (Cumbrerland)
Keep searching here cause there are lots of mods.

That is the cheaper option! Twisted Evil

Ironically, I emailed Outcast earlier in the morning before seeing this thread and it's $49 for the seat and $45 for the back. Makes me feel like the $60 (US) for the Creek Co set is a deal. Looking to put some in a Cumberland I just got. I need something that can pack away for trips.

jason.seaward welcome I am with Jerdon, take her out first then make the call, I am sure there are cheaper options but I can ride my tube for almost 6 hours with out a worry.
