This video is about how I upgraded my Hobie Outback seat. I purchased the seat from Bass Pro Shop, the fist clamps from Amazon and the metal parts from Home Depot.
I have spent a lot of hours in the soft seat and can say this seat is much better.
Salt water kayak fishing inshore and some offshore. Fishing for redfish, snook and trout. Some traveling to other areas of Florida. Fishing Clearwater area waters.

Can’t wait to try this mod on my 2008 Hobie Outfitter. Great step-by-step instructions and explanations of what others have done and why you changed it up. Happy fishing/catching to you.

This is the best idea I've seen yet. Would like better pictures of the mods you made to actual seat and how you did new straps

Great video thank you for posting this. This gave me some great ideas. I am modifying the seat on a 2006 Hobie

Great job Hank. Thanks for sharing.

Best seat modification I've seen 👌 hopefully this seat still available. I like my 08 outback but that seat 🤦‍♂️

Great Job on the upgrade. I've got a tandem hobie mirage oasis I'm going to do the same to. We have been coming down a river that takes 4 plus hours, this seat upgrade will make it much more comfortable. Thanks

That is a very clever seat mod

Hi Hank, Are you still kayaking around the Courtney Campbell causeway? A friend and I would like to meet you with our 2010ish Hobie kayaks to pick your brain on this conversion. Hope all is well and we can meet. Thanks, Jon in Safety Harbor

Its all about the comfort.

Nice upgrade. Really liking the look of that new 2019 Hobie Outback. Have you thought about upgrading your whole kayak in the future. That 2019 looks real sweet.

@HankPretz 6 лет назад

FitzYakin I thought about it just for the seat but no need now. I really use my yak hard and in 6 months a new one would look the same as this one. Thanks for the comment.

Who makes the quick release carabiner clips you used? and where did you get them?

@chrisjask8814 2 года назад

Is that seat aluminum or steel ? What is the model number ?

@zencho4182 5 лет назад

Great job. Where can I buy those fist clamps?

@HankPretz 5 лет назад

Zen Cho You can get it on Amazon. Mini Quick Fist .

@JoelGarcia-bm3ce 4 года назад

I'm having a hard time finding the Ascend seat you used from Bass Pro...will another brand work also? what are the dimensions?

@HankPretz 4 года назад

Try contacting Ascend and tell them your looking for a replacement seat for a FS10 kayak.

@captsatch 4 года назад

Hank, can you please post a link to the seat, I saw the Ascend logo, but want to make sure I purchase the correct one. Also, did you reuse the bar that you cut off of the rear seat support or use new material? Thanks looking to upgrade my 12 outback.

@HankPretz 4 года назад

David Collins David I did not reuse the bar I cut off. I looked for the seat on Bass Pro Shops website and couldn’t find it but I just happen to have plans to go there in the next day or two. I will see if they still sell it.

@HankPretz 4 года назад

David Collins This is the seat. Not available online at Bass Pro currently. However you could do a web search. I waited about 2 months for Bass Pro to get them in. Ascend Deluxe FS12T Sit-On-Top Kayak. Good luck.

Hank, do you use a fish finder?

@HankPretz 5 лет назад

Tom Stanziale I don’t use a fish finder Tom because most of the water I fish is not deep enough.

@daveharman 5 лет назад

Did you get an email from F.W.C. stating that its catch and release for reds and snook till may 10th 2019 because of the red tide?

@HankPretz 5 лет назад

dave harman No I didn’t Dave but I did see it on the FWC website. I was a little surprised at how hard you have to search for it. Should be on the home page.

@daveharman 5 лет назад

What are you doing today? I can meet with you at marina or your launching spot

@HankPretz 5 лет назад

dave harman Thanks for the invite Dave but I’m tied up today. Be happy to do it some other time.

@daveharman 5 лет назад
