[#0000FF]Welcome aboard. Hope you are able to get your new toy put together right an get out fishing.
I am attaching two pics...right way and wrong way...for the seat pieces to be installed. It helps if you have the air chambers partially inflated...for stability...but not enough to put too much pressure on the foam as you are trying to install it.
Another thing that will help is to wet the inside of the pocket...and the foam...to lubricate it a little. Once you get the inside edges going...and stretch the pocket a little...it WILL go together the right way.
You shouldn't experience a lot of sag...taco effect. But if you need extra support you can slip a piece of plexiglass or even plain old plywood on the underside of the foam seat for extra rigidity.
There is a possibility that they have changed the dimensions slightly since your 2003 model. The only other suggestion I can make is to try to find a good price on one of the inflated bottom seat cushions. They will expand to fit the dimensions.
