Drop-In Canoe Center Seat (Standard For Canoes 34" - 40")

Simple, sturdy, and easy to install/remove. Fits our 18' Winona canoe.

Easy install. Very sturdy. Not comfortable as the seat padding/foam is like concrete. My son was very uncomfortable after 30 minutes sitting on the padding. I will add better padding in the future. Otherwise it did the job.

I added this to my 17ft aluminum canoe to make it easier to pilot with one person and it works great! Sat in it for 4 days going down a river on a camping trip and it held up nicely. I do recommend buying a cushion or a seat backing for it as it does get uncomfortable after a long day. So far it seems to be built very sturdy and I plan to keep it for a long time.

The best to work with. I shipped this to the wrong address and seller tracked it down and routed it back to me after it was in transit. Product is very nicely made. Great improvement once my seat had broke. Ciuld not have asked for a better experience

My 240 lb autistic son used to sit in the front seat. This left me riding higher in the back, making it difficult to steer.. I put the drop in seat in the middle, and it works wonderfully. No passenger complaints.

This might work for some canoes but it doesn't with my alumacraft 17'. The plastic clamp is much wider than my gunwales, preventing a secure clamp. It just slides all over. Great idea, but probably only for plastic canoes.

It did its job. It stuck out a little bit further than I’d like and I kept hitting my hand, which was a little annoying. Installing was pretty simple and it’s got solid construction. I was doing a week long canoe trip with two toddlers and I don’t think it was built for white water and lakes with gnarly waves but it got the job done. Looking forward to when my kids are older and I don’t need it.

Needed a drop-in for a trip to Boundary Waters with an old Grumman 17-foot aluminum canoe. This was virtually the only option I could find anywhere. The ends of the seat clamp down to the gunwales with a screw-type clamp. The seat is fairly lightweight and also fairly easy to take in/out of the canoe. It's a no-frills hard foam seat but that was ok for us. My friend has also used one in his Wenonah Kevlar canoe on several trips with no issues. Price is decent, too. Would love to find something that can be attached/removed even more quickly and simply, but haven't found such a product. All-in-all no complaints and would buy again.
