Hobie Seat Upgrade? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm sure most afermarket seats will fit on the Revo. They won't go into the plugs on the bottom of the seat, but you can attach them with front and rear straps like a traditional kayak seat. You may need to add 2 Pad Eyes behind the seat to attach the rear buckles, but with the adjustable rear straps you can probably just add it on & avoid doing any sort of modification.

Here is a Surf To Summit seat on my Hobie Adventure. No modifications needed to eitehr the seat or the kayak. It would probably be the same on the Revo.

Surf to Summit makes a very high quality seat, and that is where I'd start my search. Go see OEX and try a few seats on their Revo's I'd bet you will find a few that will work
