The seat is all I hoped it would be. It fits my canoe perfectly, just as you said it would, and snaps right in. I appreciate the quick response I got to my questions and will look to Austin Kayak for other canoeing toys.

Used a Face book coupon code to get an extra 15% off. Turned my Old Town Guide 14'7" into a single seater. Or a 3rd seater when my wife and daughter go with me. Or I can relocate me when it is just me and my 6 year old. Very versatile.

Review:

I recently bought a second hand Grumman aluminum 17 ft canoe. It is pretty narrow only 34 inches at the centre thwart. I wanted to be able to paddle solo, but paddling the canoe backwards from the bow isnt an option because there is a brace directly behind the bow seat. I also didnt want to spend a lot of money installing a new seat and I decided to try the Old Town Snap-in Seat, based largely on the reviews. When the seat arrived very promptly - thanks for the great service for delivery in Saskatchewan, Canada, I was thrilled to find out that it fits really nicely. Its definitely a tight fit for a 34 inch canoe, but it works and Im a happy solo paddler. No fuss, fast delivery, and the seat is light weight and easy to install and use. Perfect solution for my solo problem.

The seat functions fine as a seat and its also a nice big wide platform you can lie in crosswise and get some rays if so inclined, at least that what my son likes to do in it. I have an OT Penobscot 16RX and the seat does not snap into it, just hangs on the aluminum gunwales, which allows you to move it fore and aft while on the water, but it will fall off if you invert the boat for portaging. I havent checked to see if it will sink. Its really too wide for my canoe, but its supposed to only work well with vinyl gunwales, and that may be true. The product description could be cleaned up to make the fit issue clearer.

Snapped onto our Minnesota Resort canoe with ease. It appears to be solid enough to handle resort guests although I wished it would have imprinted the maximum weight on the seat instead of on the removable sticker. Nice option vs buying a 2nd canoe with 3 seats. - Towering Pines Resort, Pequot Lakes, MN www.toweringpines.com

Bought this for my late late 90s model Old Town Guide 147. Was a very tight fit initially...almost to the point where I thought it was going to break while trying to put it on. After I got it to snap into place though, it held firm and true. I took out my portage brace and the canoes stability didnt falter at all with the snap-in seat in place. I used the canoe daily a week ago while floating and fishing the Caney Fork River in Tennessee. Im a 63 310lb man...and I give it an A. If it supported me, Im guessing there isnt much that this seat cant do.

Bought for Old Town Tripper 172. Was a tight snap to place in the middle but I assume that is the way it is supposed to be. Look forward to getting my kids off the bottom and into a seat.

This seat has been difficult to find in stores and about $20 more elsewhere on line. I was concerned about the fit for my 40-year old aluminum canoe (not an Old Town), but it is VERY universal and fit my canoe perfectly in several locations. Now both grandchildren can go with us and enjoy nature. Delivery was quick and the product and the price are perfect. Thank you ack!!

A perfect fit! It makes taking extra people in the canoe a pleasure instead of "sorry but you'll need to sit on the floor" which is sometimes wet...

Bought two seats for my Old Town 17' canoe so my two children could sit up off the floor. Used them on Mothers day and loved them. Now the kids can help paddle. Delivery was quick. I will be ordering again from ACK. Thanks Steve

I have a Predator C13 and after receiving the seat, I found the seat to be a little too narrow to fit close to center. It will work when halve way between front seat and center. Other than that, it is a nice seat and it greatly enhances the carrying capability of the canoe.

***BEST***PRICE*** I own a 17 ft Alumacraft canoe. The Seat is a good quality Plastic. I purchased it to take my grandson it worked great. The only down side for my canoe is I wish I could move it closer to the yolk for more leg room. If you have a really large person it could be a little bow heavy. That being itssaid its not a big issue. I highly recommend this seat! .It can be used for one adult or two young children.

The seat works very well. I had my 2 kids on it all week and it did exactly what it was advertised to do. I even used it in 2 different Old Town canoes. It worked in the 159 and the 169 without any problems. Material seems a little flimsey, but so far no complaints or problems.

Snap in seat fits well in the Guide 147, but you have to stretch it a bit. At first I was uncomfortable stretching it, due to the sharp angle at which the guide 147's gunwhales taper behind the yoke, but I called ACK and they said they've got a snap in seat in their display guide 147. I got the seat in just fine, and it sits just right. Not lower than the other seats, and feels like good quality. Beats the competition for value.

Easy to install and solid construction. Snaps in and out. Ideal for adding a third person (child) or using a larger canoe singly (have to paddle the canoe backwards though due to mounting location). Only downside is it can only be mounted in one location on canoes with cross members due to it's width and location of the cross members.
