I just bought an Old Town Guide 119 canoe to use as my bass boat.  I took it out today for the first time on a small river near my house and it handles exactly as I had hoped for this kind of fishing.  Only problem is it has a plastic molded seat with an adjustable back rest and the thing is not comfortable for me.  I plan on replacing it with a traditional cane or web lattice bench type seat.  Looking on line there are many choices and the price range is broad but I don't see big differences in the various brands.

 

I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has replaced their canoe seat.

I fish primarily out of an Old Town Guide 147, I believe it has the same uncomfortable plastic seats but no back rest.  My wife got me the Sit Backer seat from LL Bean as a Christmas gift this year.  It just straps onto the existing seat and is a fairly cheap option ~$40.  It makes the seat easier to sit in for extended periods.  Don't know if that would help but it is a lot easier than changing our the seat completely

Thank you Fry, I'll check it out.
