can I use this in a sit on top kayak? What is the inside made of? I have an old REI camp chair that rolls up. They don't make it anymore. Need another

Don't really know abou that particular use of the seat. I'd worry about keeping it in place.

This could sit on anything. There is nothing to attach on the bottom. It would probably work great for the kayak. Or a canoe or rowboat or picnic table. Anyplace you want to sit that doesn't have a back would be a good place for this seat.

The description is incorrect. There are TWO foam blocks with two straps & two ropes - just as shown in the photo. You don't need more than the two foam blocks. Also, they don't "snap onto the gunwales" - the boat simply rests on top of them. They have a shallow V-shape t fit the hull of a basic kayak. I have a dual-hull kayak and it works fine for that too. The rack works completely with friction and the tight straps. I'm very happy with mine. Just remember to twist the straps or they make a deafening hum while you're driving.

Yes, it is fine for one person and very comfortable. It just did not hold water and came apart at the seams. I replaced it with a sit in inflatable and I definitely prefer to sit on top, but I also prefer to have the kayak stay afloat.

there is a small space behind the seat--about the size of medium stuff bag. The front where your legs go has no storage. I have tied things to the top--sleeping bag, SMALL tent and pack--its not a lot of room. You can do weekend camping, but not a lot more than that. Hope that helps. I do love it--great, portable, sturdy--though slightly slower than "normal" kayak.

No this chair was not intended for RVs. It doesn't have any hardware to secure it to the floor. And no seatbelt. Your could probably secure it and fashion a seatbelt if you use some imagination.

Mako saddles will attach to any bar (round, square or factory) and are safe with plastic kayaks or fiberglass. I am using them for my Kevlar kayak weighing 45 lbs and with my epic 18x ultra weighing 25 lbs. They also are lasting a lifetime.

There are no pre-installed attachment points for a seat (assuming you are thinking of a kayak style seat), and the soft top may pose a challenge to installing your own attachments that can withstand the stress seat straps would create. Mine came with the bungee cord system attached on the front portion of the board, so there might be something underneath to attach to, but I don't know how strong an attachment it may or may not provide. I have seen people use small coolers as a seat on paddleboards, but have not tried it yet.

I guess it would work OK, but you might have a problem with it sliding around as the seat moves. It is very thin, but works perfectly in my kayak.

You need one of those compact, folding beach chairs. That's what we put in our canoe for extra passengers. They look like any other folding beach chair but are really small and place your butt only a few inches off the ground. They only weigh a pound or two too.

You could make your own, especially if you found a chair you like. My husband makes all his own backpacking equipment: tent, backpack, covered hammocks, you name it, he can make it. He's into lightweight backpacking, so chairs aren't part of his gear, but he has made the kind that sit on the ground. There are zillions of web sites, try Ray Jardine's lightweight site & you might find sites that relate to your question. I assume you've looked at Campmor (www.campmor.com), REI, and other camping store sites. Good luck!

I really do not think it would be an issue. This kayak feels to be thicker than an above ground pool liner. If it does puncture they give patches so you can fix it.

Hi Richard, I have a necky kayook with a collapsible seat. My husband has the hard one piece seat. We both use this pad and love it. Straps hold this to the seat by the upper back part but it mostly stays in place because of it's weight. They provide hardware for it to attach to your boat, but you really don't need it. The only cons about this pad is it's weight.

Yes, I think you could use this kayak. I weigh 235, and there is still plenty ofroom plus I sit way above the water level. I think it is rated for up to 350 lb.

The material is surprisingly tough. I'm lazy and have often pushed myself along shallow rivers with my paddle while the kayak scrapes on the bottom and have never had an issue. But I did lose a skeg one time due to rocks. As I posted elsewhere, you cannot get a replacement skeg - as of today, they're *still* not listed on the Intex webste - and the kayak is essentially unsteerable without the skeg.

I always use stainless screws or nuts and bolts. I built my kayak out of cedar strips covered with fiberglass. I fiber glassed a board that I had three self locking nuts inset to match the holes on the foot braces. I can thus replace the braces if they ever break. They have been plenty strong and easy to adjust.

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

The wheels come off and the frame collapses flat. The frame will have to be strapped down on top of the kayak as it will not fit in any hatches I know of..I have put the wheels in the hatches but my hatches are wide enough...not sure what kind of Kayak you have...
