I have an '05 Tarpon 120 with the flip up backrest and a 'Yakpads' cover that fits nicely over it.  Has anybody tried other seats on these older boats that you would recommend.  I will eventually like to upgrade to a newer Tarpon, but for now am just looking to make mine as comfortable as possible.  Thanks.

Does the fold up backrest get in the way of a Surf to Summit type seat?

The flip up seat is removable.
I use a DANUU Pacific Angler on my '06 Tarpon. It is the best seat I have used. I put it on my 2012 Tarpon for a while too. Real thick seat is nice. I had 3 of those seats at one point for different kayaks I owned. Explore their sit for other nice ones too.

Thanks.  That looks like a great seat.
