Two seats can fit on Penobscot 17

5 years ago

We have a Penobscot 17 and wanted to get two seats in for our kids, I wasn't sure the canoe would fit two. But they fit it nicely against the center and rear thwart. The seats were strong, super light weight, and popped in and out easily. When we flipped the canoe over to put on the roof rack, they didn't grip the sides of the canoe too tightly, so it was just easier to pop them out and put them into the trunk.

Simple and easy to use. Love this seat!

6 years ago

I bought the seat for my OT Camper for a trip to the Boundary Waters. I needed a middle seat for my 8 year old. This one worked great. It popped in and out easily, which I had to do several times for portages. The best part was it stayed in place even when flipping the canoe for portages so I didn't have to carry it loose.

Excellent seat

4 years ago

This is a great seat. Fits my two little boys next to each other. It does not “snap in” to my Penobscot 16 so it falls out when the canoe is stored or carried upside down.

Sturdy. Works great. Grips the gun whales nicely.

4 years ago

The seats snap-in easy, don't slide around, and are plenty sturdy (holds up to 300 lbs.). I have 3 Northstar canoes with wood gunwhales and these worked great (didn't need to be an Old Town canoe w/ vinyl gunwhales) These are a must, if you have a bunch of kids coming along so no one has to sit on the canoe floor in the bilge water.

not that great

4 years ago

The fit is not quite right; the angles to sit on the gunwales isn't exact and to snap those sides over them is not very easy. A little difficult to stretch over the gunwales, and couldn't completely snap down the second side. It will suffice but doesn't look quite right.

Fits Like a Glove

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and tried it our in our Old Town Discovery 158 canoe. As expected, it fit perfectly and provided a nice seat for two of our young grandchildren to enjoy a ride.

Bring a third

3 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super handy seat, easy way to bring along a third person. My canoe has no thwarts so there is plenty of legroom. Easy to use and store.

Can't think of an easier way to add a third seat or set up your canoe to be paddled solo.
