If the foam seat was comfortable I'd simply replace the seat.  Any good 
kayak shop should have them in stock.  If not try contacting Necky.  I'd 
recommend getting some of that heavy duty 3M Velcro and some contact 
cement.  Glue the Velcro to the boat and seat.  Once the glue has set just 
place the seat in the boat and sit down.  The heavy duty stuff really holds 
well.  You might also add a tether for added security.

If  you didn't like the seat you might want to look at the Wilderness 
seat.  It's got a lot of bells and whistles however I've never sat in one 
but they sure look high tech.
