Comfy .... I agree!

   Had one on my Malibu.

The back is  pretty high, so it is a little tougher to do a "reach around" unless you are already ridin' side saddle. :smt005

I had that seat on my T15 and loved it. No complaints at all. Love the mesh storage in the back and has convenient clip off points as well.

I say if you can afford it and want a comfy plush seat that you can adjust to help with lower back issues etc, it's great!

I believe it was a little higher.  I know it was higher than the "stock" seat.  I needed better ass comfort & a higher back for support.  Had it all for what I needed!

Look at the comfort pro seat by ocean kayak. I hate. Absolutely hate a high back seat. It gets on the way when you try to reach around to the well area. The seat is foam covered in flexible rubber. Easy to clean blood mud salt guts squid off of. It's only 89.00

I guess different strokes for different folks...I never had a problem reaching behind me to pet my fish in the tankwell, or turn sideways to pose for pics... and have hosed plenty of blood and guts off that surf to summit seat.  :smt003

I haven't tried the comfort pro seat though so can't compare.  :smt001

im sure if we all had a reach like yours our names would start with (big ...)
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

I have never had a problem reaching around to the tank even with a super high seat back. Not even side saddle. On the kayak I use it on I would never give up the thick ass pad and high back. I can sit in it for 10-12 hours without getting out if the kayak.

hahahah The comfort pro still cleans up easier. Jim I know this from many years bro. Disclaimer. I said you , I mean I find it easier to reach around with a low back seat.

Yeah, I'm bigger than some folks for sure.  :smt001

And to be honest I never clean my stuff besides just a hose down. I like the blood and gore left over from cleaning my fish OTW. There are scales all over the ground at my parking spot at work.  :smt044
