Newb - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

We'll first day in the water today on my kayak. Damn this paddling around is tough. Fished Newport for 2 hours now feeling the pain in my back and hamstrings. Can't wait to get back out again in some better conditions. Still need to get a seat to make things a little more comfortable.
My son sold his tricked out scooter and bought me and himself 2 Malibu explorer kayaks from sunset OEX with the money. What a great kid thanks Harris. Unfortunately he broke his elbow and shoulder 2 weeks ago. So I couldn't wait anymore and headed out on my own. He should be out of his cast in about 6 weeks to start fishing with me.

Any suggestions on a seat are welcome, I am a taller person at 6 4" if that makes a difference for seat height. The kayaks are pretty much bare one has no hatch but 2 rod holders. The other has a hatch but no rod holders. Over the next couple of months I am looking to add on bait tanks and fish finders.
