Mad River Plastic Canoe Seat, Stern

The Harmony/  Mad River Roto Canoe Seat is a roto-moulded canoe seat that  superb durability and surprising comfort. The seat bolts directly to the gunwale providing added stiffness to the canoe compared to seat that hand indirectly via hangars. The slightly dished seat is comfortable facing in either direction for fishing, conversation, or paddling solo (when paddling solo it is common to sit on the bow seat but facing towards the stern and paddle the canoe backwards). Paddling this way can help with the balance of the canoe keeping the water line more level on the hull especially in a lightly loaded canoe.

Light Grey Colour, these are tapered to fit the curve of the canoe gunwales with the bow seat being wider than the stern seat. This is the rear seat is broader at the front and narrower at the back. Slightly dished with two drainage holes makes for a comfortable dry seat. This seat is comfortable and grippy (not slippery) giving years of use with no need for regular maintenance like other (wooden) seat options. Used by many types of paddlers it is ideal for fleets owned by schools, scouts, rental and hire companies because of it’s toughness, longevity and simplicity, especially where the users may be rough on their equipment.

• Directly bolted to gunwale
• Seat can paddled/ sat on facing either way (however as this is the rear seat there is generally not enough room in the canoe for your legs to sit backwards on it)
• Hardware not included
