I'm late on this thread so apologies if this has been covered.  Nautiraid make a
great seat that is inflatable *or* can be filled with water, adding greatly to
the carrying capacity of many boats on Sea of Cortez and other tours where all
water must be carried.  They are as comfy as a water seat (French, you know, the
masters of those sorts of things) and well made.  Black nylon cover with handles
makes carrying easy and the black absorbs heat, partially warming the H2O if
that is of benefit.  Hint:  Be sure to fit a piece of  clear plastic tube over
the filling nozzle and find a funnel that matches the other end else you will
spend half your trip trying to dribble the seat full through the nozzle.  Bad
idea.  We found a folding funnel that flattens and attached string to it to hang
under a faucet on low flow.  Worked well.  But don't forget the plastic tube and
funnel.  They are essential.  SEDA the North American dealers for Nautiraid sold
us the seats.  Not cheap but well worth it.
