[cool][#0000ff]First answer...I DO run a hooked bungee cord around back, behind the tube seat, and attach it to each side of the bottom part of the chair. That keeps it secure against the seat back.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Since I photo document most of my experiments, I did take pictures of the process (see attached). For the most part, I just used a hacksaw to remove the legs as flush as possible to the bottom framework. Then, I used a big abrasive disc to grind down the uneven edges and corners. I finished with a rotating drum sanding disk to smooth it all out.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The only thing I found that I need to modify is the front edge. It is slightly higher than the rear and I need to remove about a half inch from there to level it out.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am sure that you could easily add one to a Fish Cat. There are lots of different lawn chair models on the market. Take the measurements on the seat of your tube and just cut and fit the chair to that seat. Most of the seats are about 18" long. That is how long mine is on the H3 too. The difference might be in the width. But, I have space to spare on the width with my H3 so it should fit the Fish Cat.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The contour seat helps destribute your weight more evenly, and thus does not ADD to leg cramping. However, if you have the wrong fins or have physical conditioning problems, the seat itself will not correct those.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]My leg cramp was in the front of my lower leg...where I have never had them before. I attribute it to an aggressive workout on my elliptical machine the day before.[/#0000ff]
