I have a Pelican "sit in" kayak and I am concerned that many of the seats say they are for "sit on" kayaks only. Will this seat work with a sit-in?

That's what I bought this for. This is the 2nd Crack of Dawn that I have bought. 1st one stolen - guess someone else likes them, too. Very comfotable!

It depends on where your tie-downs are located. The Apex seat has two straps that go forward from the top of the seat to provide back support and two that go back to keep the bottom cushion in place. The connectors are clip-types that will hook over at least a 5/16th inch loop. So, if you have two tie-downs forward of where you sit, you can probably 'make it work' and if you have another pair low and inside the kayak, you can get seat stability. Hope that helps. Bottom line, they are made for sit on tops. So, you will be proceeding at your own discretion.

The kayaks I bought the Seals cockpit covers for are the 10' Pelican. They do work with some adjustment to the bungi cord. Requires two people to install and will pop off easily with any stress placed on them

I would say yes. I have two kayak seats in my back pack. I love the board. Havnt used my kayak since I bought it not much on the standing up though.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with your kayak so I can't answer that. They are great braces and work well for me.

Most certainly!!!!!! I have two 14 1/2 feet Necky sea kayaks. I have fit both of them in my 97 F150 with absolutely no problem. Money well spent for sure. I love not having to lift them so high!!

But remember not all kayak bottoms are the same. Some are flat bottoms. Like the cheap ones from Walmart and dicks sporting goods

User error. I had committed the same error. The skegs on the bottom must be in the rear of the kayak. In my maiden voyage I was thinking, "geez, this thing won't go straight. It sucks." Got out, looked underneath, and realized I had placed the seats in backwards: the skegs were facing forward. I turned the seats around and went back out. Worked like a charm and tracked straight and true.

You probably could fit the Kayak into another backpack - but I'm not sure about the seat - which is in fact the backpack for the kayak. You turn the backpack inside out - sort of - and it velcros onto the bottom of the kayak and becomes a surprisingly comfortable seat. But then again you could use the kayak without the seat if you were out ruffing it and didn't want to use the backpack system.... An interesting thought.....

I have a sit-in kayak and it fits in mine. I have the LL Bean Calypso kayak which is smaller since it is made for women and I tried it out when I got it and it seems like it will work. I have not tried it out for real in the water yet for hours, but I am hopeful since it is to late to return it since I got it for Christmas.

I bought it for someone to use in a jon boat with an 8 in swivel base and they were pleased.You might consider a base attached to wood in the bottom of the canoe to elevate the passenger slightly.However,is the bottom of your canoe flat?,,how wide ? .I would measure the bottom of the boat carefully and think before purchase. Without a base of some type,would this just slide?I consider this more of a replacement seat to be mounted somewhere.Good Luck.

Hey Luis:I am 6-0, 235 so I hear you. Short answer is it will be kind of tight, but you could probably make it work. I leave the seat out bc it takes room and isn't necessary and also zip up the cockpit cover AFTER I'm in the boat and it seems to work out OK. I"ve taken it out for 2-3 hours and been fine. I honestly don't know what other kayak I'd recommend. One reason I got this was at 10 feet long, it was among the longest inflatables I found.

It is pretty versatile and would probably fit, but the Pelican Trailblazer has a pretty comfy seat doesn't it?

I would say most would fit. I have a sit in and a sit on and both fit without a problem. I frequently do shuttles with my friend and haul her two kayaks a sit on and thereis no problem. It would not haul a canoe but I can't think of any kayak that would not fit in this type of saddle. These are very easy to use and fit on round type racks as well as other shapes.

Yes it can in fact I use it in my sit in kayak. I did need to add two eye loops to create latch points for the kayak. It works well and is a great improvement over my first chair being both softer and taller. I do wish it was about 4" taller though- it reduces kayaking back strain but doesn't eliminate it.

Yes, cautiously. I am not very familiar with vipers I have seen some and would say those would. Unless your kayak is totally flat like many sit on tops I would say this would work it does need some kind of contour. If it is flat like a surfboard may be bit of a challenge for a snug fit

I bought it to be used in a sit in kayak....It has longer straps than it needed for mine but it works just fine.

I tried to research Polk boats but the site was down. I have a sit on top kayak. This seat requires you to connect 2 front (left and right side) secure points and 2 left and right rear secure points. This seat was only $59.99 a few months ago. The price change occurred after I paid $68. Now, I'm showing that it is being sold for $85. It's now over priced. Contact the boat manufacturer and ask them what type of seat is needed. Then start your research to find the correct seat. If his boat does not have 4 points of contact, this is not the right seat. Good luck!
