This is so true... which is why I'm not using my Hobie Revo, pirogues, and cedar strip yaks too much anymore, in favor of my Native Ultimate 12. Man that mesh seat...holy smoke I can't imagine anything better than that. You can even nap in it easily while scooted down.

Everytime I go out I'm starting to default to that seat more an more, LOL.

What's wrong with the Revo seat? I put the Hobie air cushion on mine and love it. I'd hate to think that there's an unloved Revo just sitting around feeling sad and unwanted...

I've put my STS elite on my Revo with a little creativity and it worked, so that's an option. But if your really dissatisfied with it, I'll gladly give it a loving home for you. All you have to do is mail it. Lol

KB you ever sit on a Native seat? In 95deg muggy weather? No contest, constant air flow, no clamminess whatsover. Can stay in there all day if needed.
Any drips or spills don't accumulate at all.

Your back and butt is wet from sweat almost instantly in anything else. I've tried all and have all the various air cushions, etc. too.
And its not even the middle of hot summer here yet, 100+ coming soon I'm sure. I've been in boats all my life, the Native seat is the best seat I've ever had by a longshot, at least for fishing in particular.

No the Revo feels the love too, LOL, in fact I'll prob take it out Sat in the coastal marsh here for redfishing and spec trout. Its all good, just looking for cadillac comfort Rofl

wonder if a native seat would adapt to a future beach 144

I've never had the opportunity to sit in one. I've heard they are pretty comfy. Mail me the native and I'll let you know what I think!! Ha ha

I usually have to get up and move around after a little bit anyway, so I can sit in most any seat and deal with it

the Phase 3 in my Pungo is very comfy, that's what sold me on this brand. Just seems to help with my bad lower back.
