I've used 50mm industrial Velcro (Home Depot) to hold my removable hip pads in and they don't budge. Note that hip pads take a lot of abuse on entry/exit etc. On the other hand, the glued-in pads in my WW kayak are now peeling off. I'd expect that a _substantial_ amount of industrial or marine Velcro will hold a seat in well. One thing I'd also consider is a Velcro/webbing strap arrangement through a hull mounted tie-down to provide a backup.
