I want to replace the seat in my Tarpon 12. The yak is about 5 years old. What would be the most comfortable options? Anybody have a Tarpon with a seat that they really like?

Do you have the model with the removable seat? I think they went away from that about 5 or 6 years ago, give or take. The newer models have a pretty nice seat that is permanently mounted (I have a 2013 model). If your seat is indeed removable, I would recommend the comfy manta from ACK: http://www.austinkayak.com/products/146/Comfy-Manta-Kayak-Seat.htmlI used that seat on an Ocean Kayak Scrambler for a few years, and I really liked it. High seat back and really comfortable.

The seat in my Tarpon seems to be mounted to the plastic by four screws.
