Scopper Pro - Please help - wet butt
 
My daughter just bought one for me. Everything fine accept the seat is too low. Scupper plugs did not help.

Scupper Pro Owners please help. What are you using?.
I am 5.6 135lb.

Thanks

Why don't the scupper hole plugs work? I have used them in my scupper pro in the past with good results. Occasionally during the trip, I use a big orange sponge from the Home Depot to bail out the seat area. It does keep the seat area dry. I'm 6'2" 165#.
For me being on the water so much, a wet seat is no big deal. I always wear a spring suit except in the height of the summer and just don't seem to notice the wet. It is a water sport after all.

Live with it, the Scupper Pro is a wet boat, a great boat but a wet one.
It was designed with a very low seat so that you had stability in a narrow kayak.
Just enjoy the great paddling of this kayak and get used to the wet butt.

I have a low profile yak and I am always wet..... I just baught waders. the ones that go up to your chest. I got them at Bass Pro for about $50. Best investment ever, especially in the winter.
