For the $'s its hard to beat the FSET12.... it comes ready to fish. The factory seat is not so bad but if you add about 3 of those $5 foam stadium cushion seats under it, your bottom side will feel much better!! The back of the seat is low and not great for those needing more support for long hours on the water. I have replaced mine twice now trying different types of seats. I have used the Kerco Angler and the Feelfree Kingfisher. The Kerco has great back support but the bottom padding was not enough. The Kingfisher had a great wedge style pad on the bottom which helped my legs feel better being raised up and the back is high for those who like that extra support. The back did start flexing midway up after continued use but has not caused me any issues yet. I still use 2 or 3 of those foam pads under it for the extra padding and height. I added Scotty slide tracks to each side of mine to mount gearheads with rocket launcher rod holders to allow me to do some slow trolling while paddling. I keep a small 3 tray tackle bag tethered directly behind my seat and a cooler in the back compartment for my catch.
