Duane,

Most folks don't have the skill, time, or desire to build a custom foam
seat/ thigh system.  In fact most folks would like to just purchase a boat
and go paddling.  The multi-adjustable seats being fit into the modern sea
boat are an attempt at providing the customer with something that fits, is
comfy, durable, and provides control to the boat.

I have been outfitting with foam for nearly 20 years and in all my
experience I have yet to come up with a foam outfitting system that was as
adjustable, durable and EZ as the WS stystem. At going shop rates and foam
costs $$$$ is also an issue.  A complete seat/knee system would take $20-50
in foam and glue and 3-6 hrs. labor.
