Perception Pescador Pro 100

Featured Replies

Anyone own this kayak?  I have one, but I think I need to make a slight modification to the seat.

Overall, the seat is quite comfortable. I have tried it in the low/high position, but after the 3 hour mark, I start getting a cramp in my upper left leg region.  I lift my self off the seat for a brief moment, and the pain seems to go away.  But then once I sit, obviously the cramp re-appears.  So this tells me I might need to elevate the seat a tad bit more.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on a sturdy/easy fix in order to achieve this?  I really don't know how much higher, or at what angle it would need to be to fix the issue.  It's going to be trial and error.  I also need to keep in mind the amount of stability I will lose by raising myself up higher.  I weigh 190 pounds so I need a modification that will hold my weight.

My wife hates her seat. A memory foam/gel seat made it a little better for her. 
 

There is a modification a lot of guys do to raise the back of the seat up a little. I’m sure you can google “pescador seat mod” and it’ll pop up.

I was looking on youtube and found a couple, still looking for the best option

Is it the front of the seat bar pushing on the back of your leg? That’s what was hurting mine. I got a 3” thick boat seat cushion from Walmart that helped a lot but I think I’m going to get one of these because I can strap it to my seat and it has a spot to relieve tailbone pressure

@GTN - I don't believe so.  It definitely feels like a cramp or strain.

 

This weekend I'm going to begin making some modifications to the seat in hopes that it will work. Problem is, is that I can't test it out till spring.  I will make the best logical mod, and see how that works.  As you mentioned, it could just be a seat pad that fixes all.
