Inflatable boat seat
Just ordered one of these for the Honwave T40. Expensive but they are supposed to be quite good

It has taken a while but look what should be here soon.
I think this might be a game changer for Sibs

As someone who has yet to find and settle on a “comfortable” and practical position on my sib, this could be a decent shout.
I saw these guys use something similar in a few videos.

It’s the pink. Well and the fact on all the boats I've used or been on I prefer the upper helm position.

In the video which Brin put a link too, it's used by The Ferryman as a helm seat. Personally I think it looks bloody awkward and I wouldn't want to use it on anything other than very calm waters, but each to their own.

The guy who did the video reaconed it was a game changer. I will find out hopefully soon

So it looks like you have to twist with your arm over the seat back to steer and seat height would make my knees hurt not a game changer for me a bean bag would be better IMO

Well when I get time and the weather is good I will see. Cant do this quickly however as got a lot else on.
It was quite expensive in my view so hopefully it will be ok

Well I have got this out of its packet and set it up. Initial thoughts are that it is good and better quality than I expected.
If all things align I might be able to test it very soon. In the meantime here is a little video to show what it is like etc

Well had the seat out on the water in the Honwave T40. Love the Honwave T40 more than I ever thought I would. I am however sort of 50/50 about the seat. It certainly has its good points. I made the little video below hopefully this will help others to make up their mind
