Default Bought the Encore - Perception saddle?

Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it.

He threw in a Perception black plastic saddle, not installed. I was
originally skeptical about it, but I like the tractor seat on the back,
like the idea of being able to change positions from kneeling to
sitting, which I can do with my current boat. So I may install the
Perception, but I am going to take my time thinking about it.


Check the stability of the tractor seat before you commit to it, i.e.,
drill more holes. I have one in my Viper 12 and it's only useable in
very flat water.
