[cool][#0000ff]The foam seats are "removable". But, after what most of us go through to get them properly inserted in the first place, we usually plan to leave them in there for eternity. Tight fit and tough work. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]About the inflatable seats. I am a big guy and put a lot of strain on the inflatable seats in my Super Fat Cat. Still, I would expect better seats and fewer leaks than I have had. I have had to repair at least 20 pinhole leaks at the edges of the seams on the bottom portion of the seat, and several on the backrest. As I write this, my inflatable seat is on my tackle bench, with a new Aquaseal patch drying on a new hole on the back rest. Took my tube out for the first time this year, yesterday, and had to keep returning to shallow water to get out and air up the backrest so I could keep fishing. It went flat about every 30 minutes. Just about ruined my already aching back. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]No more inflated seats for me...at least Outcast seats.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Just a comment. Unless you have to stuff the tube inside the pack, you should have no problem packing your gear into those secret honey holes. You can experiment to get a good secure fold up job, and use nylon rope or bungee cords to hold it in position on the outside of your pack. It will weigh the same regardless of whether it is inside or outside, and unless you are brush-busting through thick cover it should not be a problem.[/#0000ff]
