seat postion
seat postion
I am in the final stages of building the touring pirogue. I am a little uncertain as to where to position the seat. Not height, but position, just off centerline, a little aft or what. I looked at the pictures Hairy Mick posted and have a general idea, but I am unsure. I weight 190 lbs. I am thinking if nothing else I will just get it out on the water and trim the boat and mark the seat position. I will post some pictures in a few days.

G'day JdfDave,
Good Choice mate! I bloody LOVE my touring pirogue!!! .
I am about 200 pounds, and about 14 inches behind the centre seam to the front of your seat works best for me.
For the fine weight trim. I just adjust where I locate my cooler etc.
Any piccies mate?

Here is where my seat is for now. It is a little further back than I would prefer.
Oh yeah, the decks make excellent supports for a filleting board.
