It came from BLA Australia, but its anyone's guess if they still have the same thing (this was 9 years ago). There's a lot of versions of this Skipper seat getting around, but you really need to look at them and even do a quick test to make sure it fits because they may look the same in photos, but sizes do vary, and in my experience there is very little room for error. I have seen people fit larger versions but was never keen on how high the larger ones would sit, or how some of them were installed.
These crafts are loved and used worldwide but need upgrade & care - Big smile😀 by watching the Aussie way' of improvements Many thanks & greetings from up north 🇧🇻🌐🇳🇿
Eliminating a fishfinder was surprising but with your trolling is it just depth and depth gradients you really need to know about? It's certainly cleared the decks a bit. Great video, I think I'll use that yoga matt in the hatch lid trick on my Revo 11
Oh wait, you mean the one for the bilge pump? The one we use in that clip is the same if not very close to this: slhobie.com.au/shop/kayak-fishing/mounts/install-hardware/drain-plug-flat-base/ If you were to run into any issue installing this one you'd only need to shave the edges down with a dremmel a mm or 2 to get it to fit. You might not need to do that though
We know of people that have done it, but no, its not a great idea and we definitely would not encourage it. Would be a little too top-heavy to be suitably stable
Muy bueno ! ❤ I will try the angled rod holder in my hobie outback. Already holds 4 rods but I like the “outrigger placement”
Good luck!
Very nicely made: Thanks for the video. Do you know where you purchased the fighting style skipper seat?

I like the video! However, the music got in the way of hearing all the commentary that I really wanted to hear.
I don't fish and still have half a dozen mods I will do from this vid!
Awesome vid, given me some further ideas for mods on my TI. Thanks!
great practical ideas Josh......awesome vid too
nice music choice. One of my favorite films.
Yep, we're fans of Kickass here to! The first part is from Aliens, and who doesn't love that?
Scott Lovig the aliens part is what I recognized.
Seems like a lot of these issues were directly addressed in the 2015+ models.
Excellent ideas! I will be incorporating some of these to my boat!
She's a beauty bro! Keep up the innovations!
I sure wish you used a down rigger like I do, would really like to see some other ideas on mounting one
Beautifully put. You got an excellent arrangement on your AI. I´ll use it as a guide to do mine. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome vid!
Another ask about the seat, can you provide a link to the seat and further details? I wonder if this seat would work on a 13' Hobie Revo?
great Tips! Thanks
The music is annoying
Are those the original seats? Do you think they would fit into the hobie oasis?
Anyone know the part number or link for the large drain plug?
Yes. 10091000

Yes exactly what I needed. Thank you for the quick reply@@paddlefishsail
Nice job Holmes.
If Hobie hasn't contacted you for employment yet it would for sure be their loss.
What do you use to glue the closed cell foam to the front hatch?
Hi Chris. We use Marine Goop to do that. This stuff:

Nice mods, thanks for sharing!
I've got a TI. Have you done any mods to those?
WOW... Can I fly you to California to do that to mine?
Amazing vid, and for someone that is looking to upgrade to an AI, its just what i didnt want to see :) good effort mate, subbed
would that seat mod work for a Hobie Outback? that would be a cool DIY video...(wink wink)
We know of people that have done it, but no, its not a great idea and we definitely would not encourage it. Would be a little too top-heavy to be suitably stable
any info on the seat i would like to have one for my kayak ?
Great Video! Thank you, one day .......
👍🇧🇷
could I buy one rigged like that from you guys.
