I have some 5gal collapsible water jugs I'm going to use for ballast when I move the middle seat back

so I called wenonah today and spoke to Alison. I pretty much had it figured out already- add weight/ballast to the front. Ideally enough tp paddle from the stern, but reduce weight if I move forward.

I think throwing some weight in the bow is going to be a must also

LOL ! it was like paddling one of those round sleds. back into the shop it goes

getting my feet caught under a low seat, upside down in the water doesn't sound like a good time. I'll try this out tomorrow and if it feels tippy I'll drop it 2"

I have them but I figured I'd try this first. I'm a bit worried if I lower it I won't be able to tuck my feet under the seat to kneel. I used the rear hole from the yoke for the front hole of the seat, it's the extra huge/heavy duty seat from eds.

I put in the solo seat today from Eds'. I was a bit paranoid cutting and drilling but I think I managed ok

I just ordered the EXTRA HAVE DUTY EXTREME seat to replace the yoke in mine (yes I'm joking about the name). The guy I spoke to was very helpful.

HA! I never thought of removing the yoke ! I only use it for loading, unloading. That sounds like an option for sure ! Thanks Years of martial arts and age has taken it's toll on my knees. They're not bad, but I'm not as young as I once was. I like the idea on a kneeling thwart but I don't think...

I don't care about ugly (obviously, look at me ) I just care if it works or doesn't. I thought it looked a bit wonky but I figured first hand knowledge is better than buying junk. A saddle looks interesting, maybe a kneeling thwart if it's ok on bad knees and strong enough to take enough weight...

tell me about this "saddle". How comfortable are they ? easy to put in/take out ?

I have no choice, there will be times I need to solo my spirit II. What do you folks think of the spring creek drop in seat ?
