Hi Dave,

I've had one of Steve Gurney's Bumfortable seats for a few years in my race 
boat.

Expensive, yes, but as you say it saves the hassle of carving your own. I 
think there are two sizes made, I'm not saying which mine is :-), but it 
fits well. I have packed a wedge of foam under the front so as to tip the 
front up a little and have drilled a couple of drain holes to stop the 
swimming pool-effect.

Simple to fit, little chance of breaking it, I'm happy.

Cheers

JKA
